When David Heard

当戴维听到》是为纪念 2011 年奥斯陆和乌托亚恐怖袭击中的遇难者而创作的。作品以《塞缪尔记下》中著名而紧张的段落为背景，并穿插了《诗篇》第 39 篇中的诗句：主啊，让我知道我的结局。音乐以一段强有力的宣叙性段落开场后，在沉思和更具戏剧性的素材之间迅速切换，反映了两段经文的情绪，并演绎了音乐叙事。在反复吟诵《诗篇》的过程中，音乐逐渐变弱，只留下一个孤独的男高音悬在空中"

原文简介:
When David Heard was written as a memorial to the victims of the 2011 terrorist attacks in Oslo and Utoya. It sets the well-known and intense passage from 2 Samuel and intersperses it with a verse from Psalm 39: "Lord, let me know mine end", scored for three solo voices. After opening with a powerful declamatory passage, the music switches rapidly between contemplative and more dramatic material, reflecting the mood of the two texts and playing out the musical narrative. This gradually fades over repeated invocations of the Psalm, leaving a solitary tenor voice hanging in the air.
