Henrik Rung (1807-1871)
JANUARY 2006: Now the Twelve Italian Songs and the Canzonette Italiane Populari by Rung
are available on Hebe.
JUNE 2005: I am happy to say that a
selection of works by the Danish composer Henrik Rung has been contributed
to Hebe by Jens Bang-Rasmussen of Copenhagen. Mr. Bang-Rasmussen has
made an extensive study of Rung, and together with other Danish musicians
made a CD of his music. The edition, and the notes below on Rung and
his music, and the engraving of the music, are his work.
The beginning of every file of the guitar works can be
seen free online.
JANUARY 2005: A very interesting
paper by John Bergsagel is now here on Hebe, by kind permission.
(In pdf form, 500kb). It is mostly about Rung, his time in Italy and his
work in Denmark. It was read in January 2004 at the Royal Library
Copenhagen on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of the establishment
of the music section there. It's very readable (and I like it
especially because it quotes from John Aubrey, a favourite author and
antiquarian).
Ten works by Rung are available on Hebe, as follows:
Solo guitar:
Impromptu (FREE TO EVERYBODY)
Polonaise op. 2 No. 1
Two guitars:
A quarrel between children (De
Uenige Sødskene)
Capriccio fantastico per ossia la
studente
Three guitars:
Burlesco
Guitar and other instruments:
George and one of the kids, for
violin and guitar
Andante for violoncello and guitar
Notturno for violin, violoncello
and guitar
Siciliano a 4 for two guitars and
two violins
Bolero for three guitars and violin
All Hebe files are free immediately online if you are a Hebe subscriber.
