English.
Scripture:
Genesis.
This
triumphal chorus from the
oratorio, The Creation,
received its first public
performance in Vienna in
1779. Texts are taken
from Genesis and from
Milton's epic poem,
Paradise Lost. This was
the first piece published
with both German and
English as original
texts. Original English
text was translated into
German for Haydn to set
(he felt uncomfortable
with setting English) to
music. The English text
was subsequently added
and thus was first
released with both texts
underlaid. Optional MIDI
file available separately
(on MIDI disk
LMF-1001)
Duration
2:04.
