Ben Morris Hylestad for two narrators, trumpet in Bb, and string quartet

Total Duration: ca. 7’45” Program Note/Text: Hylestad is a town in southern Norway known for its historical wooden stave church, which was torn down in the 17th century. The church had portal carvings, broken into narrative panels, featuring the story of Sigurd Fåvnesbane, a legendary figure from Norse mythology, slaying a dragon.

Tales from Sigurd can be found in the Edda and the Völsunga saga. These church panels are persevered today in the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History in Oslo, Norway, and are a testament to a time of mixed polytheistic and Christian belief in 12th Century Norway. There has been scholarly debate about why purely Christian churches could display blatantly “pagan” references so prominently at the church entrance. Historian and linguist Jesse Byock argues that these carvings were featured on the church portal because of a syncretic parallel of Sigurd the dragon-slayer with the story of the saints as dragon-slayers in Christian hagiography and symbolism, including the archangel St. Michael and St. George. These figures represent defenders against Satan and other evil spirits.

Hylestad explores these religious parallels through two narrated stories of the dragon-slayers – St. George and Sigurd – two parallel streams that alternate, join together when similar events in the stories overlap, and separate. These stories are accompanied by music in the string quartet, which takes material from a 19th-century Christian Hymn for St. George by Henry Gauntlett and a 13thcentury Scandinavian folk tune Drømde mig en drøm i nat (I dreamt a dream last night) – the oldest existing Nordic folk tune notated in runes, which are re-harmonized, layered, combined, and abstracted at different points in the narrative.

Original carving from Hylestad Church The improvised trumpet acts as glue between the two worlds, freely coloring the lines of the stories and weaving them together like the complex patterns in the church carving.

Full texts from narration on next pages. Texts extracted from Snorri Sturluson's "Prose Edda" and Jacobus de Voragine's "Golden Legend" and summarized by the composer.

Performance Notes: • The two narrators may be of any gender, age, or orientation.

Preferably, the two narrators’ voices drastically contrast so as to provide optimal differences between the two stories (for example, older male and young female, etc.). These differences will help the clarity and intent of the piece, which is to contrast two separate narratives within one piece.

• Narration should be plainly spoken, with some dramatic arc but not melodramatic. Pronunciations are included in central text above.

• Trumpet improvisation is free and colorful, exploring within harmony but also breaking free and exploring timbre a la Arve Henricksen.

Narration text: Narrator 1: Once there were two dragons. One lay by a lake in Gnita-Heath in Northwest Sweden – we call the dragon Fafnir.

Narrator 2: The other lived by a pond by the city of Silene in the deserts of Northern Africa. Each watched over his domain.

Narrator 1: Sigurd, son of Sigmund, was the finest of all warrior kings. One day, his foster father, Regin, told Sigurd that his Regin’s brother Fafnir had stolen some family gold, transforming into a dragon to guard the gold in his lair. Regin told Sigurd where Fafnir lay on the gold and urged him to seek the treasure. Regin then forged the sword called Gram, a gift from father Odin. It was so sharp that when Sigurd lowered it into running water it sliced through a tuft of wool carried by the current against the sword’s edge.

Sigurd and Regin traveled together to Gnita-Heath. Sigurd dug a pit in the path used by Fafnir and lowered himself into it. As Fafnir the dragon crawled to the water he passed over the pit, and at that instant Sigurd thrust his sword Gram through him, killing him. Regin asked Sigurd to take Fafnir’s heart and roast it on the fire. Regin then laid down, drank Fafnir’s blood and went to sleep.

Narrator 2: Saint George was a knight, born in Cappadocia. One day he journeyed to the city of Silene in the province of Libya. Near this city was a pond, by which there was a dragon that plagued the city, poisoning the people with his breath. Everyday, the townspeople held a lottery to choose a child, rich or poor, to be sacrificed to the dragon, so as to calm the beast and prevent him from harming the city. One day, the city’s lottery fell upon the king’s daughter. The king, weeping, embraced his daughter and led her to the dragon’s pond. (cont’d)

Saint George passed by the dragon’s pond, and seeing the king’s daughter, he asked her what she was doing so close to the dragon’s pond. She said, "Go your way, fair young man, lest you perish as well. I am delivered to this dragon, it is my duty to die." Then Saint George said, "Fair daughter, doubt not, for I shall help you in the name of Jesus Christ." The dragon suddenly burst from the lake and came rushing toward them. Saint George, who was on his horse, drew his sword, made the sign of the cross, and then rode swiftly toward the dragon. He struck him with his spear, knocking the dragon to the ground.

Narrator 1 and 2 (together): And so Sigurd and Saint George triumphed over the dragons.

Narrator 1: Sigurd roasted the dragon Fafnir’s heart; to see if it was cooked, he touched it, scalding his finger. To ease the pain, he stuck his finger in his mouth, getting dragon’s blood on his tongue.

Narrator 2: George said to the king’s daughter, "Tie your belt around the dragon's neck, and be not afraid." When she had done so the dragon followed her, weak but still alive.

Narrator 1: When the dragon’s blood touched Sigurd’s lips, he could understand two nearby birds, who spoke to him from the trees. They told him that Regin was Fafnir's brother, and that he was about to betray and kill Sigurd to steal the gold for himself. All along, Regin was using Sigurd’s strength and bravery to get to the family gold that Fafnir was guarding.

Narrator 2: George and the King’s daughter led the dragon into the city, and the people fled in fear. Saint George said to them, "Doubt not. Believe in God and Jesus Christ, and be baptized, and I shall slay the dragon."

Narrator 1: While Regin slept, Sigurd thought over his stepfather’s treacherous, murderous plot. In one swoop, he slit Regin’s throat and killed him just like he killed Fafnir. Then, he mounted his horse Grani and rode until he came to Fafnir’s lair. There Sigurd gathered up the gold and put it into sacks. These he placed on Grani’s back, and then climbed up himself, and rode away.

Narrator 2: The king and all the people of Silene were baptized. Saint George cut off the dragon’s head and paraded it around the city. The king established a church there in honor of Our Lady and of Saint George. From the church flows to this day a fountain of living water that heals sick people who drink from it.

Narrator 1 and 2 (together): And so Sigurd and St. George lie memorialized, on the church portal of Hylestad Stave Church.
