world Swinging up at Gods command. Raphael
describes in WORDS while the orchestra paint in
colors, the storms, the rains, the hail, and
true light and Aaky snow. Gabriel, Soprano, in
beautiful melody, with chorus accompanying,
sets forth the glories of the second day. This is

and the gentle gliding of the limpid brook. Ga

fragrant herbs, the fruit, the healing plant, and
the majestic forests. After this the heavenly
host celebrate the wonders Of creation in its third

great brilliancy and sweetness. Then follows an
account of the creation of the terrene animals
the lion, the tiger, the stag, the noble steed, the
cattle, the focks, and the creeping things-in all
of which the instruments paint what the words
describe-so much So that you can almost hear
the roar of the lion, the prance of the horse and
you quite hear the buzz of insects and really
see the crawling of the worm. Raphael sings the
praise of this sixth days marvels, and then Uriel
announces the browning work-the creation Of

The chorus then rejoices in the completion of
the mighty work of creation, and closes the Sec

Eve, who, in duett, accompanied with distant
chorus of angels, sing the praises of God This is
followed by succession of solos, DUETS, and cho-

expressing the shadow of foreboding that all
may not last And the whole concludes with
sublime chorus of all the angels to the praise and
glory of the Lord.
