As you might expect of a work celebrating the story of creation, Haydn's magnificent oratorio is a joy to sing throughout. After a hushed build up in the beginning, the choir explodes into LIGHT, and never really looks back. The many exhilarating choruses that follow include Awake the Harp, The Lord is Great, Achieved is the Glorious Work, Sing the Lord Ye Voices All, and probably the most well-known piece The Heavens are Telling which always leaves you happily exhausted. Part of the enjoyment is that the music is not that difficult to learn and sing - the exception being Despairing, Cursing Rage, which is a fiendishly tricky little chorus, particularly for the basses. Great fun when (if!) you get it right.
