The Creation remains one of the great achievements of the choral repertoire. The work tells the biblical story of the first seven days with rhythmic recitatives, rich solo parts and choruses which have an inspired harmonic simplicity. The complex tone colouring of the orchestration provides a musical setting which sets Haydn’s work alongside the greatest oratorios of the classical genre.
 
Harrogate Choral Society are joined by soloists Sarah Fox, Soprano; Matthew Minter, Tenor; and John Cunningham, Bass with the Amici Orchestra for this performance.
