Par GRIEG EDVARD. Grieg Holberg Suite (From Holberg\'s Time) Op.40 (Full Score) Suite in the Olden Style for String Orchestra To celebrate the 200th birthday of the playwright Ludvig Holberg (1684-1754), 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 rigaudon . 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. - New Urtext edition of this popular work for string orchestra - Based on previously neglected sources by Grieg himself - String parts in a practical large format (25.5 cm x 32.5 cm) / Date parution : 2022-07-30/ Répertoire / Orchestre à Cordes

In 1884 the Norwegian city of Bergen celebrated the 200th birthday of Ludvig Holberg, one of its most famous sons and a symbolic figure of the late Baroque era. For this occasion Grieg wrote the piano suite Aus Holbergs Zeit , which he orchestrated for string orchestra. To this day, the Suite - particularly in this arrangement - ranks among Grieg's most popular works. By using the romantic string sound, Grieg brings the late Baroque orchestral suite and its various dance forms to life again. Along with the string serenades of Dvorak and Tchaikovsky, Aus Holbergs Zeit is regarded as the third great late-romantic work for string orchestra.
