I will be the Tenor Soloist for Larimer Chorale’s production of The Creation by Haydn. The Creation was inspired by Handel’s oratorios Messiah and Israel in Egypt, which Haydn had heard while traveling to England in the mid- 1790’s. As Haydn was writing The Creation, he thought of it as the summit of his entire life’s work, and certainly, that is how many generations of music-lovers have perceived it. Haydn’s The Creation is perhaps the greatest oratorio ever written.
