To celebrate the 200th birthday of the playwright Ludvig Holberg, a statue was erected in his honour in 1884. Edvard Grieg, who, like Holberg, was born in Bergen, was commissioned to write an open-air cantata for the ceremony. But he also refers to Holberg in his instrumental music. The result was a “powdered wig piece†(as Grieg wrote to his publisher) that hearkens back to Holberg’s era – a historicising suite of baroque dances for piano, ranging from an exhilarating prelude and several dance numbers to a Bachian “air†and an impetuous “rigaudonâ€.Later Grieg arranged his “Suite in the Olden Style†for string orchestra. This version became one of his most popular compositions.For our new scholarly-critical edition Christoph Rinne-Schroeder has meticulously examined the original print and compared it with previously neglected performance material annotated by Grieg himself.

With string parts as close to the original as possible, this full orchestra arrangement of two movements from Grieg's Holberg Suite is a gem! It may be performed by string or full orchestra, and, for ultimate flexibility, each movement can be performed alone. Featuring the Sarabande and Gavotte, careful attention has been paid to maintain the original intentions of the composer in this piece. Minimal accommodations were made by arranger Victor López to provide a more educationally-sound experience for the players. (8:10).

From Grieg's Holberg Suite, Op. 40, this setting of the first movement is exciting and a true celebration of sound. It is easy to rehearse and will come together rather quickly. It may be used as an opener or closer in the program. Enjoy this authentic-sounding short version from the beginning to the breathtaking finish. Regal in nature, this arrangement will be a cherished addition to the beginning band repertoire, suitable for contest and concert settings. Bravo! (2:30) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

From Grieg's Holberg Suite, Op. 40, the Praeludium is the first---and perhaps the most powerful---movement of that cherished work. Regal and bold in nature, this transcription will serve admirably as well in both concert or contest settings. A welcomed addition to the concert band literature.

Sarabande and Gavotte are the second and third movements of the Holberg Suite, Op. 40, a standard movement of the Baroque suite. Both movements may be performed as part of the entire suite or as a stand-alone selection. This arrangement is true to the original work---as feasible and offers the sonorities of the concert band ensemble in a very playable version. The first movement, Praeludium, (00-38363) released last season, has recently been selected as Reviewer's Choice in the October 2012 issue of The Instrumentalist magazine.
