Haydn - The Creation - McCreesh

Disc 1:
1. Introduction: The Representation of Chaos
2. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth - And the Spirit of God
3. Now vanish before the holy beams - Despairing, cursing rage
4. And God made the firmament
5. The glorious heav'nly hierarchy
6. And God said: Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together
7. Rolling in foaming billows
8. And God said: Let the earth bring forth grass
9. With verdure clad the fields appear
10. And the heavenly host the third day proclaimed
11. Awake the harp, the lyre awake
12. And God said: Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven
13. In brightest splendour rises now the sun
14. The heavens are telling the Glory of God
15. And God said: Let the waters bring forth abundantly
16. On mighty pens uplifted soars the eagle
17. And God created great whales
18. And the angels struck their immortal harps
19. Most beautiful appear, with verdure young adorn'd
20. And God said: Let the earth bring forth the living creature
21. Straight opening her fertile womb
22. Now heaven in fullest glory shines
23. And God created man
24. In native worth and honour clad
25. And God saw ev'rything that he had made
26. Achieved is the glorious work
