of a libretto and continuo (a musical speech with a piano accompaniment). After this, a description of the act in question (thecreation of light, or beasts for example), is depicted with an aria, and the end of each day is rounded with a chorus.
Haydn does a splendid job of painting a picture with music, and there is something in this work to please everyone, due to the vast variety of moods and feelings created. Chaos, for example, is played ever so quietly, and then at the creation of light.....well, I won't spoil it! We here drums being bashed to represent thunder; delicate woodwind for the creation of fauna and a vast choir that sings triumphantly to praise the work of God.
Towards the end, we come to Adam and Eve, their joy at being created and paired together and their thanks to God. Before the magnificent final chorus (through which ...

Background:
Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) enjoyed a prolific and highly successful career composing in a wide variety of genres from opera to piano sonatas and is widely regarded to have fine-tuned the Classical Style in his string quartets and symphonies. When Haydn started composing "Die Schoepfung" (TheCreation in English) in 1786 he had returned to Vienna after a highly successful time in England where his music was feted by everyone from the King downwards.

The weight of the box is 400g

The ingredients are on the back of the box, but it gives you all ingredients together not individually, which is a bit ...
