The Heavens Are Telling | Joseph Haydn | Singspiration Chorale | Conducted By Ekeh Joshua

THE HEAVENS ARE TELLING (Creation) Franz Joseph Haydn The Heavens are telling the glory of God, The wonder of his work displays the firmament. Today that is coming speaks it the day, The night that is gone to following night. The Heavens are telling the glory of God, The wonder of his work displays the firmament. In all the lands resounds the word, Never unperceived, ever understood. The Heavens are telling the glory of God, The wonder of his work displays the firmament. Haydn composed what is regarded as one of his greatest oratorios, The Creation, in 1797–98 with librettist Baron van Swieten. Movement no. 13 of Part 1, Die Himmel erzählen die Ehre Gottes or “The Heavens Are Telling,” is based on Psalm 19:1-3. Haydn took an interest in astronomy and the discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton and held the view that an orderly universe substantiated a belief in divine wisdom. The victory of light over darkness is implied by Haydn's use of the key of C major, as opposed to C minor, which had begun Part 1.
