The Creation is an oratorio composed by Franz Joseph Haydn. Its German title is “Die Schopfung”. The German-language version was written and prepared by librettist Baron Gottfried van Swieten. The source of libretto comes from “The Book of Genesis” and John Milton’s epic poem, “Paradise Lost.”
In Uriel’s Recitative, “And God said: Let there be light in the firmament..” it is in recitativo secco and is sung by Uriel (tenor).
In Uriel’s other Recitative, “In splendor bright..” the key begins in D major and the tempo is Andante.
