Britain's What's On Event Guide
Haydn, The Creation
The Pinner Music Festival finishes in some style, as the Festival Choir and Orchestra perform Haydn's wonderful The Creation (Parts 1&2). Local performers are joined by visiting soloists Emma Walshe, Graham Neale & Jonathan Brown, taking the parts of the 3 Archangels, Gabriel (soprano), Uriel (tenor), and Raphael (bass).
The libretto follows the 6 days of creation as told in the book of Genesis; heaven and earth are created, followed by the sun and moon, land and water, plants and animals and finally man and woman. The score is fabulously inventive with wonderfully descriptive music, starting with the extraordinary and highly original orchestral introduction, the 'Representation of Chaos'. The chorus has a number of rousing numbers including the famous 'The Heavens are telling' and the performance ends, appropriately enough, with the joyous chorus, 'Achieved is the Glorious Work'.
