Sacred Music Notre Dame, the Singing Irish of Sacred Music at Notre Dame, members from the Notre Dame Children's Liturgical Choir, and the Sacred Music Festival Orchestra perform Haydn's The Creation (1798). Drawing from the books of Genesis, Psalms, and John Milton's epic Paradise Lost to represent the six days of creation, Haydn was inspired to compose his first oratorio, now an iconic Western masterwork, after a Handel festival including Messiah. His colorful, imaginative, and tremendously satisfying choruses are favorites among choral singers and music lovers. GET TICKETS https://events.nd.edu/events/2024/11/23/haydns-the-creation/
