In late autumn and winter, people want to hear choral music. We fulfill this wish with two major oratorios: Haydn's “Creation” and Handel's “Messiah”, the most popular oratorios of their time. In the 19th century music associations were formed everywhere where the bourgeoisie met, driven by the desire not only to hear these old works, but also to perform them. People got together, sang and celebrated and went home with the sheet music to immerse themselves in the works. On the side: They were politicized. Such choir associations were not unimportant for the development of a bourgeois-democratic self-image. One should always bear this in mind when the light of the Enlightenment is celebrated in Haydn's “Creation” in a radiant C major.
