Franz Joseph Haydn:
The Creation
The Seasons
The Seven Last Words of Christ
Joseph Haydn is regarded as the 'father of the symphony' and the 'father of the string quartet' for his more than one hundred symphonies and almost seventy string quartets. Haydn also produced numerous operas, masses, concertos, piano sonatas and other compositions. His oratorios The Creation and The Seasons, both composed in the last decade of Haydn's active compositional Iife, are his most widely known and admired choral compositions today, just as they were in his lifetime.
