Opus 64b
HartW 166
DF 79

Author: H.P. Holst

Composition: 13 Dec. 1863.

King Frederik VII died on 15 November 1863, but was not interred in Roskilde Cathedral until 19 December. On 25 November Hartmann still had not received the text, but he managed to end-date the manuscript 13 December. According to Hartmann the cantata produced an impression which never before had been achieved through song in Roskilde Catherdal.
