Description:
With his world-renowned oratorio "The Seasons" (Hob. XXI:3), Joseph Haydn created a magnificent masterpiece of the Viennese Classical period, celebrating the eternal cycle of nature in all its vivid glory. From the freshness of spring and dramatic summer storms to joyful autumn harvests and reflective winter calm, a colorful musical panorama unfolds. This high-quality Urtext full score from Edition Peters provides conductors, scholars, and ensembles with an authoritative, scholarly-critical foundation for rehearsals and performances. Scored for three vocal soloists (Soprano, Tenor, Bass), an expressive mixed choir (SSAATTBB), and a richly orchestrated ensemble including harpsichord and percussion (2.2.2.3 – 4.3.2.0 – Timp, Perc – Strings – Hpd), this edition is an essential centerpiece for the choral-orchestral repertoire.
