Using contemporary language and music, Re:Creation - an oratorio for soloists, chorus and orchestra -  follows the biblical story of Creation across the breadth of human history from the opening verses of Genesis to the conclusion of the Revelation of St. John.

Composed in 2007 by David Perkins and premiered at St John's, Smith Square, London in 2009, the inspiration for Re:Creation was the great sacred choral masterpieces of Handel, Bach and Haydn. Their soaring phrases and grand themes have stitmulated deep responses which have held together faith and music to both touch souls and excite the senses. 

Seeking to inspire audiences who have listened to other resonances on the origins and destiny of life, Derek Wensley has compiled over 150 verses of Bilical text rendering it in accessible language to present its great themes to the contemporary listener.
