MINI-SCORE
In 1884 Edvard Grieg composed the ‘Holberg Suite’, subtitled ‘Suite in olden style’. It’s a suite of five movements based on eighteenth-century dance forms, written to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Dano-Norwegian humanist playwright Ludvig Holberg. Although not as famous as Grieg's incidental music from ‘Peer Gynt’, which is itself usually performed as arranged in a pair of suites, many critics regard the works as of equal merit.
The ‘Holberg Suite’ was originally composed for the piano, but a year later it was adapted by Grieg himself for string orchestra. The suite consists of an introduction and a set of dances: ‘Prelude’, ‘Sarabande’, ‘Gavotte’, ‘Air’ and ‘Rigaudon’.
Italian arranger Marco Tamanini transcribed the ‘Holberg Suite’ for a Symphonic Band.
