"Le roi David. in its original version as a 27-movement incidental score for Morax's drame biblique was composed in two months between February and April 1921. The premiÃ¨re of this staged version 11 June 1921 was followed by 11 further performances and the favourable response from audience and critics encouraged Morax and Honegger to produce a concert version for larger forces 1922; apart from rescoring the music remained unchanged. With a narration provided by Morax to link the items this 'psaume symphonique' was widely performed: in Paris for instance it was mounted on consecutive nights for three months. The work secured Honegger's international reputation and he was soon dubbed 'Le roi Arthur'. A series of tonal and thematic correspondences unite the work whose dramatic impact is ensured by the tightly controlled relationship between the dramatic and musical emotive peaks." Geoffrey K. Sprat in Grove Music Online. "A member of Les Six Honegger's serious-minded musical aesthetic was entirely different from that of others in the group. He developed unusual musical and dramatic forms in large-scale works for voices and orchestra and was one of the 20th century's most dedicated contrapuntists with a clear indebtedness to Bach. His language is essentially tonal but characterized by a highly individual use of dissonance. While he undoubtedly benefited from the immense publicity accorded to 'Les Six' his own distinctive musical language attracted widespread acclaim even before his music for RenÃ© Morax's Le roi David 1921 catapulted him to international prominence." op. cit.
