Achieved Is The Glorious Work

"Achieved Is the Glorious Work" is a magnificent classical chorus that brings a true sense of triumph to any celebration. Originally from Joseph Haydn's great oratorio The Creation, this piece has found a firm home in Nigerian choir lofts. We often bring it out for grand festive Masses, especially as a recessional hymn or a special concert anthem, where its bright, majestic energy sends the congregation out with joy.

The text itself is a pure shout of praise, declaring that God's great work is complete and that He reigns exalted on high. Singing it requires some stamina and precision, especially when the parts start weaving through those joyful "Hallelujah" passages. When a choir locks into Haydn's lively rhythms and the harmonies finally align, it creates an unforgettable moment of worship that lifts the whole church.
