Author: Johannes Jørgensen

Carl Nielsen Edition

Composition: 1903–04.

Nielsen had barely completed the Helios overture (CNW 34) during a stay in Greece in the spring of 1903, before he began on the new piece, Søvnen. The work on the composition did not come easily to him, for six months later he had not got much further. During autumn 1903, he seems to have had a turning-point, however, and finished it in November the following year.

Instrumentation: fl.flauto (flute), 2 fl.flauto (flute)/fl.picc.flauto piccolo (piccolo), 2 ob.oboe, 2 cl.clarinetto (clarinet), 2 fg.fagotto (bassoon), 4 cor.corno (horn), 3 tr.tromba (trumpet), 2 trb.t.trombone tenore (tenor trombone), trb.b.trombone basso (bass trombone), tb.tuba, timp.timpani, tam.tam tam (tom tom), cmplli.campanelli (glockenspiel), vl.1violino 1, vl.2violino 2, va.viola, vc.violoncello, cb.contrabbasso (double bass)Choir: S.soprano, A.alto, T.tenore (tenor), B.basso (bass)
Andante tranquillo

Milde Søvn, du store Moder

Molto agitato

En Kval, en Tynge... vé mig er jeg vaagen?
