We'll continue with The Creation. Depending on how far we get in class today, I'd like us to look closely at No. 2, Arie und Chor; and continue on to the next solo for Gabriel, Allegro in C major (in my score it's no. 5, so I'm guessing it's no. 4 in your score). Please be prepared to sing your choral part in class!
We're in the realm of vocal music, so we can't expect to see clear-cut sentences, periods, etc. But nevertheless, as you write in Roman numerals on your score, try to figure out how Haydn orders his different sections. Why does the choir come in when it does? Where does he change key, and why?
