Rued Langgaard (1893 - 1952):
DEN STORE MESTER KOMMER (NO. 1)
The text is the first verse of Ingemann's poem, which is based upon Malachi 3,3:
"and he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver,
that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness."
Den store Mester kommer;
Fuldkjærlig er hans Id:
Han sidder ved Smeltediglen
Og luttrer Sølvet med Flid.
The great Master comes;
Affectionate is his efforts:
He sits at the crucible
And purifies silver with diligence.
(B. S. Ingemann, 1841)
