Even if I did not teach a course on the Bible and music, even if I did not have a growing research as well as teaching interest in the intersection of religion and music, I would probably have shared this work with you. I discovered St\u00e5le Kleiberg\u2019s music through the Naxos Music Library, I believe. I\u2019ve been listening constantly to his music since that happened, and when I saw that he has a treatment of the story of David and Bathsheba in an oratorio-opera he composed, I was thrilled at the possibility of working his music into things I teach and write. You can listen to David and Bathsheba on YouTube as well through the playlist that has been made available there<\/a>:<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.2l.no\/e-book\/2L084.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\" decorated-link\">booklet that accompanies the Blu-Ray recording of the work is also available online<\/a> and has more information.<\/p>\n<p>He has also composed other works that have biblical connections. His Hymn to Love is a setting of 1 Corinthians 13, and his Requiem for the Victims of Nazi Persecution includes Psalm 13. He has also set the Magnificat as well as The Shepherds and the Angels.<\/p>\n<p>You can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stalekleiberg.no\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\" decorated-link\">listen to more music by St\u00e5le Kleiberg through his website<\/a> as well as on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>Of related interest, Kirmo Lintinen\u2019s piece \u201cDavid and Bathsheba\u201d with libretto by Vali-Pekka H\u00e4nninen offers a fascinating imagined conversation between David and Bathsheba after Uriah\u2019s death (sorry that I didn\u2019t find a recording to share here). Also have a listen to the movement \u201cDavid and Bathsheba\u201d that is part of John Duffy\u2019s \u201cHeritage Suite for Orchestra.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dhsxqALUznw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I also want to highlight <a href=\"https:\/\/www.episcopalcafe.com\/o-clap-your-hands\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">the piece from the Episcopal Cafe about musical settings of Psalm 47<\/a> and the place of music in the faith of some of us.
