Haydn’s greatest choral work is a vivid musical depiction of the seven days of creation.

Inspired by Handel, texts from the Bible and Milton’s Paradise Lost, it is a monumental piece. There are moments of astonishing impact such as ‘Let there be Light’, plus many popular hum-along choruses such as ‘The Heavens are Telling’.
