Bacchi Tempel
''Bacchi tempel öppnat vid en hjältes död'' ("The Temple of Bacchus opened at a Hero's Death"), commonly known as ''Bacchi Tempel'' is a song play, a long poem in two thousand alexandrines, written by Carl Michael Bellman and published by Sweden's royal printing press in 1783. The illustrator was Elias Martin. The work had been preceded by a version from 1779 titled "Bacchi Temple opened at the death of Corporal and Order Oboist Father Movitz", but had been reworked and expanded several times. The work has probably never been performed in its entirety, but individual songs are sometimes performed by the ''Par Bricole'' society. It has been described as a curious hybrid, a combination of comic opera and mock-heroic verse, and as a not very satisfactory work, despite the "lovely" song ''Böljan sig mindre rör'' (Still'd is the hasty wave). Context The songs originate in Carl Michael Bellman's performances on the theme ''The Order of Bacchus'' (''Bacchi Orden''), starting ...
