Franz Joseph Haydn’s oratorio The Creation is considered his greatest work. Depicting and celebrating the creation of the world as described in the biblical book of Genesis and in John Milton’s Paradise Lost, the oratorio has three parts: first, devoted to the elements; second, to animals and man; and third, to an earthly paradise. Composed for soloists – personifying Archangels in the first two parts, Adam and Eve in the third – a four-part mixed chorus and large classical orchestra, this performance of Haydn’s masterwork, directed by Dr. Guy Webb, will feature the Missouri State University Music Department’s combined choirs; soloists Carol Chapman (soprano), Sean Spyres, (tenor) and Chris Thompson (bass); and the MSU Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Robert Quebbeman.
