Franz HaukAbout
His oratorio David in spelunca Engeddi (David in the Cave of Engedi), with a Latin text, was written in 1795 for the Ospedale dei Mendicanti in Venice, one of the four great charitable institutions there, known for the musical achievements of its members.
The oratorio deals with the conflict between David and Saul, and the refusal of David to harm the Lord’s anointed, in spite of the opportunity offered him.
Cast:
• David, a shepherd, son of Jesse from Bethlehem - Merit Ostermann (mezzo-soprano)
