Description: | Otto Valdemar Malling (1 June 1848 – 5 October 1915) was a Danish composer, from 1900 the cathedral organist in Copenhagen and from 1889 professor, then from 1899 Director of the Royal Danish Academy of Music, Copenhagen. He was born in Copenhagen, and became a pupil of Niels Gade and Johan Peter Emilius Hartmann. in his later career he mainly composed organ works and vocal music, but he also wrote a significant amount of orchestral music, as well a substantial cantata "Der hellige Land", and a symphony in D minor. He was a co-founder and vice-conductor of The Concert Society, Copenhagen (1874), supporting himself as organist at various Copenhagen churches. His scores of organ music brought Malling some reputation abroad, but after his death he was soon forgotten in his native country.
"Die heiligen drei Könige" (The Three Holy Kings) was published by William Hansen in 1907. It tells the complete story of the Epiphany, beginning with Christmas night and ending with the Three Kings journeying back to their homes.
All the dramatic scenes and events are covered in these seven movements, and I think all are well worth the listen.
Over the next few days and culminating on January 6th, I'll be uploading the complete "suite."
The 3rd movement really gets the action going when the wicked Herod calls the High Priest and Scribes asking where the King of the Jews is to be born. They assemble in a dark and sneaky march, which leads to much uproar and loud arguments amongst them!
Nothing is really "settled" here, and while need to look ahead
The characteristic Malling "Danish modality" is present, and really comes through LOUDLY in this excitingly uneasy movement.
I hope you make the entire journey with me over the course of the next few days!
Tomorrow, the Kings journey to Bethlehem.
I felt the Armley Schultze was an excellent match for the music, and the all movements are recorded with it.
The score is attached below, as well as three photos of Otto Malling! |
