It is based on the bible - more specifically Genesis.
Johann Wenzel Anton Stamitz was a composer in the Classical period known for his symphonies and instrumental music. He is considered a pioneer of the symphony and helped to establish the symphonic form that was later developed by composers such as Haydn and Mozart.
Haydn's species comes from the oratorio The Creation. This is based off of the world at it's beginning and creation from what is stated within the biblical Book of Genesis and the Paradise Lost.
