Composed in 1797-1798, Josef Haydn's 'The Creation' / Die Schöpfung was one of his greatest successes, a masterwork of Enlightenment musical thought, and remains as popular now with choirs and audiences as ever. Klaus Burmeister's authoritative edition for Edition Peters is here presented in a classic vocal score, perfect for study or practical performance. It contains parallel English and German texts, beautifully set notation, and an informative concluding essay in German and English.
