Documented collaborators

Haydn's The Creation is one of classical music’s great oratorios, a masterwork commissioned and first performed in Vienna at the turn of the 19th century. Composed by Joseph Haydn between 1796 and 1798, with a libretto by Gottfried van Swieten, this expansive work dramatizes the six days of creation through vivid narration by solo angels—Gabriel, Uriel, and Raphael—culminating in Adam and Eve. The piece is renowned for its radiant choral-writing, lush orchestration, and English-German bilingual presentation that helped broaden accessibility. In concert, it continues to captivate modern audiences through dynamic performances by major orchestras and opera houses.
