## Summary

Sheet music for Franz Joseph Haydn's 'Die Schöpfung' (The Creation), Part I, No. 13 Chorus: 'Die Himmel Erzählen die Ehre Gottes', featuring a conductor score for soli, chorus, and orchestra.

## Description

Attending performances of Handel's choral works while in England, Franz Josef Haydn (1732-1809) decided to write his own large-scale oratorio. He began to work on DIE SCHÖPFUNG (THE CREATION), Hob.XXI: 2 in 1796, aided by a libretto by Gottfried van Swieten that incorporates various texts from Milton's Paradise Lost, Genesis, and the Psalms. Throughout the work, Haydn depicts the events of creation with Handelian choruses and colorful word-painting. The first public performance took place at the old Burgtheater in Vienna on March 19, 1799. The Part I (No. 13) chorus, DIE HIMMEL ERZAHLEN DIE EHRE GOTTES (THE HEAVENS ARE TELLING), is one of the most recognizable and often-performed excerpts from the work. Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2+CBsn: 2.2.3.0: Timp: Str (4.4.3.3.3 in set): Mx Chor.
