Clarinet in A 1. Heorot!

Glorious, sunrise
Umay Acar-Sümer

THE SCRIBE: Hwæt! All of you gather 'round now and I'll tell you a story from the days of yore, of kings and
monsters, of loves and loss, and yes, there'll be dragons too. So let us sail off for a moment to far away lands
and watch this tale wrought long ago. Here he comes now, Hrothgar King of the Danes. With his dear queen
Wealhtheow by his side. People sung their praises but let's hear it from them now. My King, take it away!

BEOWULF: Hengest, so he is the one charge now?


FREAWARU: Yes, they say he was a great warrior. Brave and righteous.
BEOWULF: A worthy subject for a song then.
FREAWARU: As are you. After what you’ve done for us, poets will be lining up to sing the tale of Beowulf,
the great hero of the Geats.
BEOWULF: Do you think so?
FREAWARU: I know so. Scop is working on one already, I heard a couple of lines.
BEOWULF: He is? Well, I shall hope he remembers to include one most important character.
FREAWARU: And who is that?
BEOWULF: A fair lady he met during his travels; Freawaru, that was what they called her.
FREAWARU: I have no place in a song.
BEOWULF: Why not? It is my song is it not? I say you do have a place.
THE SCRIBE: Swaying in the candlelight, the unspoken question hung ever above them. But it was not to be
answered tonight, not now, when the harp strum loud and the hall glittered with newfound light. So instead
here is what they did; they danced.

STARKAD: Yes, how can we forget. Our most honoured guests. You know, I wouldn’t have believed you if you
told me ten years ago that one day I would be sat at a banquet side by side with a Dane. Times sure do change.
But I suppose there is much you have to thank them for, right Ingeld? Oh my dear friend, if only you were here
now! Froda, you’ve been gone for too long.

WIGLAF: Uncle....
BEOWULF: You know, Wiglaf, I always considered you a son to me. I never wanted to leave you so soon.
But I’m afraid Fate has spoken. Before I go, I want you to have this. (he takes off the necklace given to him by
FREAWARU and hands it to WIGLAF) Finest Danish gold, given to me by a very noble lady. May you ever
keep it as a reminder of how brave you have been this day. I know you will make an honourable king.
WIGLAF: I'm not ready to be king.
BEOWULF: Neither was I.
THE SCRIBE: There's no more time.
