In 1795 composer Franz Josef Haydn was handed a libretto — something for which a symphonist would have no need. The title was "The Creation of the World." Nashville Symphony Chorus director Tucker Biddlecombe describes the piece it became, Haydn's Creation , as a gateway piece of orchestral music for choral singers.

We hereby present the next episode of It's Not Even Past: A History of the Distant Present by Evan Tucker. In this episode, we examine composer Joseph Haydn's revolutionary time and work -- and the revolutions of our own era.

Owen Sheers' career as a poet began aged 10, when he won a competition at Abergavenny Show for a poem in which he found a rhyme for "orange" - a mountain in the Brecon Beacons called the Blorenge. He says: "I won 50p and thought, 'there's money in this poetry game'. I've since been proved wrong." He persisted with the poetry, publishing his first volume fresh out of university, and rapidly becoming one of Britain's most successful poets, as well as writing prolifically for theatre, television and radio and enjoying great success as a novelist - his latest book I Saw a Man was published earlier this year. Owen Sheers is a writer who likes to get away from his desk, and he tells Michael about his delight at being Artist in Residence at the Welsh Rugby Union, and about his collaboration with composer Mark Bowden, which took him to Cern's Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland. He has chosen music from Haydn's Creation, one of Bach's Celllo Suites (which features in his first novel), music by Keith Jarrett and a favourite Welsh folk song.

How does the creation account in Genesis reflect the glory of God? In the first of three chapel messages anticipating the Wheaton College Artist Series performance of Haydn's Creation, professor of Old Testament John Walton examines our ordered world in the light of Genesis 1. By meditating on God's wisdom in creating the cosmos and by employing our wisdom that comes from God, we should come to live lives characterized by rest (the absence of unrest), Shalom (the absence of fear), and coherence (the absence of confusion). Dr. Walton explains how the "big picture"—from creation onward—is all about the restored relationship between God and His people.

Where is our citizenship? In the last of three chapel messages focusing on Haydn's Creation, art patron and philanthropist Roberta Green Ahmanson asks Wheaton students where their vision comes from. Drawing on lessons of idolatry and a need for belonging in her own life, she calls us to place our citizenship in our eternal home and take as our vision the God's kingdom. Mrs. Ahmanson uses examples of art and architecture from around the world to meditate on the beauty and the glory of the kingdom of God, and reminds us that "we become what we worship."
