The Magic Goblet (The Luck of Edenhall)
(First Performance)
Graceful Dance (Old English Dances, Rustic Dance, First Set)
SIR FREDERIC COWEN 'S latest orchestral work, 'The Magic Goblet', is founded on Longfellow's poem called 'The Luck of Edenhall'. This was the name given to a crystal drinking glass, for on its preservation was supposed to hang the fate of the house and its inmates. According to the legend, it as the gift in bygone times of the Fountain Sprite who wrote on it: 'If this glass doth fall, Farewell then, O Luck of Edenhall'. In the poem, which the composer has sought to depict in music, the young lord of Edenhall is holding drunken revelry in the banqueting hall with his retainers. In a fit of recklessness, he proposes to try the truth of the Sprite's prophecy, and calls for the magic goblet.
His faithful old servant, loth to disobey, takes slowly the glass from its cloth, and in fear and trembling, brings it to his master. A mystic purple-light shines from it over all. Then says the young lord... 'Twas right a goblet the Fate should be of a joyous race like ours, so let us drink "Kling, Klang" to the Luck of Edenhall!' First it rings deep; then the roar of a torrent; then dies away in mutterings. But still unconvinced, he smashes the goblet and, even as it breaks, the foe rushes in, the place is set on fire, and the guests are overcome and slain. On the morrow the old servant, alone and unharmed, seeks the body of his master, who lies dead among the ruins, still holding in his hand the shattered remains of the fateful glass.
