Instruments: orchestra 3223-223-tympani, strings & BC

Description:The Schöpfungsmesse or Creation Mass is so called because for the words "Miserere nobis" in the Agnus Dei, Haydn recycled music from the dewy morning in The Creation,[2] as well as from Adam and Eve's final duet for the words "Qui tollis peccata mundi" in the Gloria.
