The oratorio "The Creation" represents not only a crucial point in Joseph Haydn's compositional output, but at the same time, marks the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the oratorio.
At the turn of the 19th century, Haydn broke with the traditional dominance of the arias, giving the chorus a distinctly greater significance. This opened the way for a new kind of choral oratorio which became one of the standard features of developing bourgeois concert life.
This choral score supplements the existing performance material (BA 4648). It is based on the G. Henle Complete edition of the "Works of Joseph Haydn".
