Symphony No.5 Op.50 was composed by Carl Nielsen in 1922. Carl Nielsen (1865-1931) was a Danish musician often seen as his country’s greatest composer. While his operas and songs have become embedded in the cultural heritage of his native Denmark internationally he is better known for his symphonies and concertos – distinguished by his prominent use of Brass instruments and dramatic changes in tonality. His Symphony No.5 (Op. 50 FS. 97) was composed in 1922 and is often seen as his “War Symphony” despite the composer denying any such direct influence. Strangely it is formed ofonly two movements and does not have any title. Often said to be a modernist piece it is constantly restless some would say pulsating. Brought to fame by Leonard Bernstein in 1962 scholars and musicians are still trying to understand this enigmatic work.

Prelude-During the time that he was playing in the Orchestra of the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen Carl Nielsen composed his two operas of which Saul and David is the first. Criticised as more of an oratorio than an opera Saul and David has not enjoyed many performances although this short majestic and psychologically revealing Prelude to Act II has become a popular short concert piece. It evokes the majesty of the court of Saul just before news arrives of the Philistine giant Goliath and hints at struggles both external and within the main characters. The dissonant Trumpets may have aroused excitement at the premiere in 1902 and still create a powerful effect in today'sperformances.
