The Representation of Chaos (orchestra)
In the beginning (bass & tenor recit. with chorus)
Now vanish before the holy beams (tenor with chorus)
And God made the firmament (bass recit.)
The marv'llous work behold amazed (chorus with soprano)
And God said, Let the waters (soprano recitative)
Rolling in foaming billows (bass)
And God said, Let the earth (soprano recit.)
With verdure clad (soprano)
And the heavenly host (tenor recit.)
Awake the harp (chorus)
And God said, Let there be lights (tenor recit.)
In splendour bright (tenor recit.)
The heavens are telling (chorus with trio)
And God said, Let the waters (soprano recit.)
On mighty pens uplifted (soprano)
And God created great whales (bass recit.)
And the angels (bass recit.)
Most beautiful appear (trio)
The Lord is great (chorus with trio)
And God said, Let the earth (bass recit.)
Straight opening her fertile womb (bass recit.)
Now heaven in fullest glory shone (bass)
And God created Man (tenor recit.)
In native worth (tenor)
And God saw everything (bass recit.)
Achieved is the glorious work (chorus) -
On Thee each living soul awaits (trio) -
Achieved is the glorious work (chorus)
In rosy mantle appears (tenor recit.)
By Thee with bliss (soprano & bass with chorus)
Our duty we have now performed (soprano & bass recit.)
Graceful consort (soprano & bass)
O happy pair! (tenor recit.)
Sing the Lord (chorus with trio)
