Haydn 's Creation - The Heavens Are Telling

[ozmorphus]

I sang this in the Dayton Rotary Boy's choir.

[bakelitetim]

We sang this in Church last Sunday as our anthem!  hooray to all St Peter's choristers!

[pianohero3]

It makes me laugh that people refer to this as a song. Haydn would be embarrassed to hear that.

[unknown2405]

I am in the North Carolina Boys choir and I can't remember a song I enjoy singing more than this one

[chrisleger100]

Amazing! This is a lot different from the way I'm used to worshiping. It just shows how wonderous God is and how He gave everybody a praise. This creation is beautiful to worship with.

[BaymarDolly123]

OMG! I'm a seventh grade first soprano in Middle School, and we're singing this song for chorus with eighth graders! It's so fun! We're also singing this for a competition! Go Thompson Middle School! Go first sopranos!

[horationelson57]

This is an amazing song, we are singing it now in Chamber Choir, it is a great song. I have the Gabriel solo :)

[MrVanhelsing009]

Our choir sung this in a concert recently,it was a brilliant sound

[dvorakweezer]

Wonderful-inspiring

[ksdpt]

This is wonderful. The balance between the orchestra and the choir is perfect.

[greytabbysfriend]

Now that is REAL music, as opposed to the hip-hop-pop-slop we are daily subjected to.

Stylistically, this is a perfect bridge between Handel's "Messiah" and Beethoven's 9th Symphony.

[Padi12345]

@greytabbysfriend We used this as a precursor to Beethoven's 9th in Vancouver, I can tell you that is a good call.

All-county*

[reasontobelieve77]

I did this song in all-count. It was amazing. I did the solo in the bass part. Every time i hear this song it brings back so many memories.

[KamokuChan]

Our choir is singing this for our next concert. Tryouts for the soloists are next week - I really want to be Gabriel!

[jhooper3581]

Haydn is a genius!

[chikomatture]

I think sounds better in german, I played it on december last year in the Conservatorio Nacional de Música de México, so I like it more... it is hard for me to explain why I like it more in german ...I hope you´ll understand...or could help me to explain why

[tenor9216]

It is perfectly normal to like it better in German, because it is the original language, and the composer wrote it with the German text in mind. I sang "Stimmt an die Saiten" in both languages, and I found the English really iffy. And also I think German is such an expressive language !

[71259mark]

@tenor9216 You should do your research. The work was originally published bilingually (1800) and is still performed in both languages today. Haydn himself preferred for the English translation to be used when the work was performed for English-speaking audiences.

[KennyParkz]

beautiful

[60ECg]

Try: The Heavens are Telling Aeolians - They have the best chorus I have heard yet singing this, Tenors are great.

Muchas gracias por esta musica celestial.!

Saludos desde el Perú.

[pistok2]

yeah we're singing this for our concert I'm Raphael in the song its soooo cool

[ryanlock2u]

I'm Raphael, too!

[emoswithspoons98]

Ever, Ever, e-e-ever understood. Just sang it this Sunday. It was amazing. such a good sing.

[signchris1]

I just sang this Sunday -it was glorious. We had a 160 voice chorus, string sections from the Asheville NC Orchestra and student/faculty orchestra from Western Carolina Univ. in Cullowhee, NC and about 10 great soloists and conductors. We did most of the oratorio and it was a privilege and honor to sing such a piece. Esp. here in western NC. Thank you Mr. Haydn. I can't get the music out of my head....

[Raffzeee]

Does anybody no where on YouTube I could find this arranged for [good] choir and organ only. I want to get an idea of what it would sound like at my wedding.

[swingballbros]

I have the sheet music for choir and piano, which i could scan you, but cant help with organ I'm afraid.

[aquagirlrules]

we sang that at circle the state with song this year!!

[alab127]

<3 Love it! I like how this version is a littler more in the Baroque style and not the legato 20th cent style.

[Rommelator]

Wonderful song! One of my favorites!

[DestroyerofToast]

28 years ago we sang this in our high school choir. I remembr the day the band clas let out early and heard us singing this piece. Before we were done the whole band and filtered in and cheered. And the look when the tenors hit those notes at the end. I still love this.

[TheSecretRanger]

Im doing this in choir and it is great!

But it is long!

[tubez4321]

Haydn - truly one of the musical masters. Sounds like he adopted some of Mozart's chromaticism here (he was very fond of him and it was considered a high compliment in the day to use motifs or styles from other composers. Compare that with today where you'd be sued for copyright infringement!)

By the way, this isn't a "song". It's a chorale and orchestral piece or movement. A song is usually sung by one voice accompanied by an instrument or several of them. :-)

[matsor79]

The heavens are telling the Glory of God!

The wonder of his work, displays the firmament!

[matsor79]

I had a headache during one of our choir rehearsals but after singing the song (tenor section); the ache gone. The song is exhilarating.

[PointlessClips]

I love this song :D

[pipeup1]
