Stravinsky's "musical play" was premiered on the CBS television network in 1962.
The narrative of The Flood juxtaposes the story of the Creation with that of Noah. The text was compiled by Robert Craft using material from Genesis and the York and Chester cycles of mystery plays. Excerpts from the Te Deum are sung by the chorus.
The work is in seven parts: Prelude Melodrama The building of the Ark (choreography) The catalogue of the animals The comedy (Noah and his wife) The Flood (choreography) The covenant of the rainbow
Performers: New London Chamber Choir
London Sinfonietta
Oliver Knussen
