Pre-shipment lead time: On orderFormat : Sheet music Dramatic poem for Soloists, Choir and Orchestra. Par GADE NIELS WILHELM. Gade composed the cantata The Crusaders op. 50 for soloists, choir and orchestra (termed as Dramatic Poem in the original print) in the summer of 1865; it was premiered on 24 April 1866.
Together with the cantatas Kalanus and Zion written later, the work constitutes, in Gade s understanding, a kind of trilogy which centers on different manifestations of the longing for the true light .
The libretto of The Crusaders by Carl Andersen is based on motives from Torquato Tasso s Jerusalem Delivered and spreads these over three sections which themselves are subdivided multiple times: I In the Desert II Armida - III Towards Jerusalem./ Répertoire / Chant et Orchestre
