Excerpt from Engedi, or David in the Wilderness, (Mount of Olives): A Sacred DramaSo far as was possible, the author has availed himself of Scripture language, and David's words have been taken (almost wholly) from the Psalms generally attributed to him, though of course not in regular order, as it has invariably throughout been the writer's first object to select words adapting themselves to the original music in its continually varying expression, which could not have been done had he taken any one Psalm as his text. How far the author has succeeded he must leave it to others to determine, but, if the result should be the production at our festi vals or elsewhere of this magnificent and highly dramatic work of Beethoven, he will feel amply rewarded for the trouble it has given him to endeavor to do it justice.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
