Haydn's late work as a sonic world tour

Haydn is one of the most significant composers of the Viennese Classical era; The Seasons is among his great oratorios and was created as a late masterpiece after The Creation. The work combines natural imagery, choral settings, solo parts, and orchestral color into a dramatic concert experience that still serves as a benchmark for sacred and secular choral music today.
