    The story about King Waldemar and his beloved Tove can be traced back in various versions to the Middle Ages and Denmark’s trove of national sagas. The material underwent many changes in the course of time, as specific place names were added. The restlessly roaming King was introduced and the legend was eventually projected onto King Waldemar IV, who died in 1375 in Castle Gurre. This is the version which Jens Peter Jacobsen adopted as the basis for his 1868 poem “Gurre-Lieder.”

    In 1923 Schönberg was invited by the composer Paul von Klenau to visit Denmark, where he conducted a concert on January 30 with his “Chamber Symphony” op. 9 and the world premiere of a chamber-music version of the “Song of the Wood-Dove” from the “Gurre-Lieder.” He went on an excursion with the singer Marya Freund to the ruins of Castle Gurre, where the legendary King Waldemar died. Almost 10 years later, a phonograph recording was made of the work for the first time, by Leopold Stokowski with the Philadelphia Orchestra. The part of the Wood-Dove was sung by Rose Bampton, whom the composer himself would accompany several years later for a radio broadcast of his work with the Cadillac Symphony Orchestra.
