Everyman

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

Everyman

Popular English morality play of the early 16th century, probably derived from an earlier Dutch play, Elckerlijc. Summoned by Death, Everyman is forsaken by his former friends - allegorical abstractions such as Fellowship and Kindred - and is saved only by Good Deeds, who accompanies him to the grave.

Everyman

Incidental music by Sibelius, Op. 83, for Hugo von Hofmannsthal's German version, Jedermann, of the 15th-century English morality play Everyman. It was composed in 1916 and first performed at the National Theatre, Helsinki, Finland, on 5 November 1916. Six monologues from Everyman were set by Frank Martin for baritone and piano in 1943; an orchestral version was arranged in 1949.
