Park Slope Singers present Haydn's Creation
The warm weather of June in Brooklyn brings to mind fresh flowers, radiant sunshine and new beginnings. To truly embrace the start of summer, the Park Slope Singers present two performances of Joseph Haydns masterwork, The Creation.

In setting out to write The Creation, Haydn wrote to a friend, I want to write a work that will give permanent fame to my name in the world. The oratorio was first performed in 1798 and has been considered a classic from the very first. It takes the listener through the book of Genesis in three parts. First is the chaos before the creation and the formation of light, heaven& earth, and land & water. The second part focuses on the creation of animals and of man and woman. By the third and final part, Adam and Eve sing of their idealized life in the Garden of Eden among the creations of this new world.

The Creation is narrated by three soloist archangels Gabriel, Uriel and Raphael, who join with the chorus in hymns of praise and wonderment. The choral refrains  including the well-known The Heavens are Telling  have been described as the sublime and epitome of 18th century music. Through his composition, we hear the waves, feel the wind, listen to animal roars and songs, and feel the warmth of sunlight upon our skin. Haydns music evokes all our senses in a discovery of the new and beautiful.

Notably The Creation is truly a celebration of life and joy. As an early biographer wrote, the work corresponds with Haydns own philosophy 'not of the gloomy, always suffering sort, but rather cheerful and reconciled.'

When it premiered, The Creation was published in both German and English. From the beginning, native English speakers have lamented Baron van Swieten's inadequate English libretto. The Park Slope Singers are delighted to be performing this work using a recent, greatly improved translation by Robert Shaw and Alice Parker.

Soloists Danielle Buonaiuto, soprano, Napat Mingkwanyuen ,tenor, and Michael Hix, baritone, will sing the roles of the archangels. Saturday's performance will feature the Musica Bella Orchestra.  On Sunday, piano accompaniment will be provided by Travis Horton.
