The Creation has been Haydn’s most popular work since its first performance in Swarzenberg Palace in Vienna in 1798. The text was put together for Haydn by Gottfried van Swieten. With references to The Book of Genesis in The Bible, the oratorio beautifully tells the biblical account of the story of the creation of light, land and sea, plant life, heavenly spheres, animals, birds, fish, and man and woman.
