He took the wordings of the psalms from the paraphrases of the Swiss Calvinist Church, in French.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the oratorio version he interspersed in with the more poetic passages, sections of narration about King David\u2019s life from the Bible. The composition, which was inspired both by Baroque and Classical styles, and based on a story from the ancient world, actually suited the very modernist spirit of Paris between the two world wars. Among the new-classical structures of the piece are new arrangements, some of which are very close to jazz in spirit. A good example of this is the section that appears in the accompanying video for solo tenor (who is playing David, the young poet, before the battle with Goliath).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The short passage includes the opening sentence \u201cIn the LORD I take refuge,\u201d followed by a description of the bow that shoots arrows at the righteous, and then a return to the opening. In Honegger\u2019s work, this section serves to illustrate the scene where David is playing before Saul, and Saul throws a spear at him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In essence, this is a very delicate, thoughtfully constructed miniature, where each word has its exact expression in the music, whether in a sound picture, or in the taut harmonic atmosphere.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":false,"embedded_video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/HV1yYjx-0bU","video_duration":"","show_fb_comments":true,"credit_media":""},"tile":{"top_caption":"The Psalms In Classical Music","main_caption":"King David Does Jazz","main_caption_size":"1","sub_caption":"A new series - this time: Artur Honegger ","preview_embedded":"","preview_image":false,"preview_video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/HV1yYjx-0bU","external_link":"","link_for_pay":false,"tile_gallery_items":false,"credits":""},"alternate_tile":{"top_caption":"","main_caption":"","main_caption_size":"1","sub_caption":"","hide_media":false},"tile_group":{"preview_image_url":false,"main_caption":"","sub_caption":"","":null,"popup_package_extra_content":"","read_time":""},"home_color":"","home_gallery_top":"","home_gallery_middle":"","home_gallery_book":"","home_gallery_bottom":"","seo":{"seo_title":"","seo_description":"","seo_default_title":"","seo_default_description":""},"links":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80399"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80399"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80399\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":80418,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80399\/revisions\/80418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
