First Three Kings of Israel Rev. William Bruce THE FIRST THREE KINGS OF ISRAEL BY THE REV. WILLIAM BRUCE AUTHOR OF "COMMENTARY ON THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. MATTHEW" ETC. JAMES SPEIRS 36 BLOOMSBURY STREET, LONDON 1879 PREFACE THIS work is based on a series of discourses delivered about twenty years ago, which the Author has been repeatedly urged to publish. Something has been done to connect the subjects of the discourses, so as to make the explanations more continuous. In other respects the matter is substantially the same; and there is little difference in the form, except that chapters with titles have been substituted for sermons with texts. The introductory remarks render any further observations here necessary.

  • Nielsen's 'Saul and David' As Tragedy
    NIELSEN’S SAUL AND DAVID AS TRAGEDY: The Dialectics of Fate and Freedom in Drama and Music By Anne-Marie Reynolds In previous studies of Nielsen’s opera Saul and David, Einar Christiansen’s libretto has been compared to the biblical story, and the similarities and differences duly noted.1 Recently, Patrick McCreless made the tantalizing suggestion that, beyond the biblical narrative, Saul and David might constructively be viewed as a tragedy.2 Indeed, writ- ers have long identifi ed King Saul as ‘the most tragic character in the Old Testament records.’3 I decided to pick up the gauntlet, and in this essay, shall demonstrate that viewing Saul and David as a tragedy illuminates not only Christiansen’s take on Saul’s demise, but also Nielsen’s methods of underscoring it musically. Tragedy I began by researching the biblical story4 and compiling the following list of six basic criteria for tragedy, loosely based on Aristotle’s defi nition and stages of tragedy, as 1 These include Jürgen Balzer, ‘The Dramatic Music,’ in Jürgen Balzer (ed.), Carl Nielsen Centenary Essays, Copenhagen 1965, 75-102; Noel Clegg, The Writing of Carl Nielsen’s Saul og David, 2 vols., Leeds: University of Leeds Master’s thesis, 1989); Karen Bernard, The Operas of Carl Nielsen: Saul og David (1992) and Mas- karade (1906), College Park: University of Maryland Ph.D. dissertation, 2001; Preface to Saul og David in Niels Bo Foltmann, Peter Hauge and Niels Krabbe (eds.), Carl Nielsen Works I/4, Copenhagen 2002, vii-xxx; and Pat McCreless, ‘Strange Bedfellows: The Hebrew Bible and Wagner, in Saul og David,’ in Carl Nielsen Studies 4 (2009), 107-144.

Meillä Nielsenin tuotannosta tunnetaan kuitenkin vain kuusi sinfoniaa, muu- tama orkesteriteos ( Helios -alkusoitto, Pan og Syrinx sekä huilu- ja klarinettikonsertot) ja ehkä oop- perat Saul og David ja Maskarade . Nielsenin laaja vokaalituotanto, kantaatit ja lukuisat näyttämö- musiikkiteokset ovat Tanskan ulkopuolella huonosti tunnettuja. Kirjaston luetteloijille tarkoitetun ohjeluettelon tarve ei ole ollut erityisen suuri, mutta koska Niel- senin tuotantoon liittyy erinäisiä kielellisiä erityiskysymyksiä ja eräiden sinfonioiden erisnimisyys on synnyttänyt epätietoisuutta, lienee tällekin luettelolle jonkinlainen tarve.

  • Flute: Late Style in Carl Nielsen’S Works for Flute
    THE “ARCADIAN” FLUTE: LATE STYLE IN CARL NIELSEN’S WORKS FOR FLUTE A thesis submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Performance Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2004 by Beth E. Chandler B.M., Baylor University, 1993 M.M., New England Conservatory, 1996 Committee Chair: bruce d. mcclung, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Revered as Denmark’s most celebrated musical figure and regarded as one of the finest, albeit under recognized composers, Carl Nielsen (1865–1931) holds a place as one of the most individual and creative artists of his time. Straddling the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and with consideration to the dramatically changing musical climate of that time, Nielsen’s vast output is stylistically complex. His music spans an array of styles, with elements of Romanticism in his early works, to an outright rejection of these same principles and an adoption of extensive progressivism in later works, all the while maintaining features of neoclassicism. There are six known works by Carl Nielsen that include flute in a solo or chamber role. These works date from his late, mature compositional period and include a short piece for solo flute from the incidental music to Aladdin, Op. 34 (1918–19); three pieces from the incidental music to Moderen (The mother), Op. 41 (1920): “Taagen letter” (The fog is lifting) for flute and piano or harp, “Børnene spiller” (The children are playing) for solo flute, and “Tro og håb spiller” (Faith and hope are playing) for flute and viola; the Wind Quintet, Op.

N I E L S E N ’ S SAUL AND DAVID A N D ITALIAN OPERA 1 By Paolo Muntoni The popular image of Carl Nielsen is more strongly associated with his symphonies and songs than with the theatre, even though he wrote two operas that are among the finest Danish examples of their kind. If Maskarade has always been regarded as a success, and has recently begun to attract international reappraisal, Saul and David by contrast has remained in the shadow of its younger sister.

  • Carl Nielsen, Ebbe Hamerik and the First Symphony1
    CARL NIELSEN, EBBE HAMERIK AND THE FIRST SYMPHONY1 By Niels Krabbe In Torben Meyer and Frede Schandorf Petersen’s 1948 biography of Nielsen2 there is a story about Nielsen’s First Symphony which has been reproduced in later literature on the composer – a story which, despite its originator’s central position in the Nielsen tradition, should nevertheless be taken with a pinch of salt, as the following article will seek to show. Meyer markets the episode as one of what he calls the ‘little anecdotes’ circu- lating about the symphony. The story goes that a conductor (unnamed) was once due to conduct the work. The composer and his son-in-law Emil Telmányi were present at one of the final rehearsals and noticed that the conductor had made a number of sig- nificant alterations in the phrasing, which angered Telmányi to the extent that he wanted to intervene. However, the more cool-headed composer held himself back, saying ‘Let him do it – it’s not so important’. Nevertheless, according to the anecdote, the following day Nielsen arranged that he himself should conduct the symphony a fortnight later, in order to show how it should really go. According to Meyer, ‘Nielsen conducted it perhaps better than he had ever done before or ever would do again. He wanted to show what he really had in mind with the symphony.’ Who the conductor was who presumed to take liberties with the work, we are not told. But it is not difficult to find out. The conductor’s name, the date of the con- cert and therefore also Meyer’s source for the episode may be found

  • Om Dette Bind
    Carl Nielsen Brevudgaven bd. 2 Om dette bind Mens en planlagt musikfest i Mülhausen (Mulhouse), hvor Carl Niel- sen skulle have optrådt med flere af sine værker, løb ud i sandet, lykke- des det i februar 1898 komponisten at afholde en kompositionskoncert i København med udelukkende egne værker. Driften af Anne Marie Carl-Nielsens fødehjem Thygesminde ved Kolding og gårdens skæbne er året igennem til stadig diskussion. Der ansættes en bestyrer, og en overgang er det på tale at Anne Maries og Lucies broder Paul skal overtage gården, men først i sommeren 1899 finder problemet sin løsning med salg af gården. Mens Anne Maries søster tøver med at gifte sig, begynder der at komme knas i ægteskaberne. J.F. Willumsen er i færd med at forlade sin kone Juliette og to børn, og problemet beskæftiger ægteparret Nielsen, der især engagerer sig på Juliettes side. Carl Nielsens venskab med den ældre komponistkollega Victor Bendix har udviklet sig til et regulært samarbejde. Carl Nielsen instru- menterer bl.a. fire korsange af Bendix med tekst af Karin Michaëlis, et værk der uropføres i Musikforeningen i februar 1900, mens Carl Niel- sen og hans kone opholder sig i Rom. Program og anmeldelser røber in- tet om hans del i værket, men Carl Nielsens håndskrevne partitur, som blev brugt ved opførelsen befinder sig stadig i Victor Bendix’ samling. Samtidig går komponisten med egne operaplaner. Det bliver til flere forgæves tilløb, bl.a. til en opera efter Shakespeares Købmanden i Ve- nedig, som Sophus Michaëlis, altså også forgæves, arbejdede på teksten til. Familierne Nielsen og Michaëlis havde begge planlagt et ophold i Italien i den anledning, men familien Nielsen kommer først af sted et par år senere, og da hedder operaen Saul og David, og tekstforfatteren Einar Christiansen.
