Let There Be Light: Sequoia Symphony Orchestra

Haydn | The Creation

Haydn was already famous when he wrote his Creation late in life. With it, he somewhat rescued the Oratorio from obscurity with its unusual combination of drama and music. His orchestrations were sung in a way no other composer dared at this time. Doves coo, leviathans roar, and the sun itself appears in the sky for the first time, accompanied by Haydn's brilliant orchestral choices.
