Grieg’s suite from ‘Sigurd Jorsalfar’ remains one of his most popular works and here, arranged by Wil van der Beek, we are pleased to be able to offer a version for Concert Band. This one will be a sure-fire hit with any fans of classical music.

In 1872 - Twee jaar voor hij Peer Gynt gegon te werken - componeerde Grieg de muziek bij het toneelstuk Sigurd Jorsalfar (Sigurd de kruisvaarder) van Bjørnsterne Bjørnsons. Enkele jaren later voegde hij de drie belangrijksteorkestgedeelten samen tot een gelijknamige concertsuite. In The King's Hall is overigens de orkestversie van een inn 1867 door Grieg geschreven gavotte voor viool en piano. Wil van der Beek schreef de versie voor armonieorkest.

In der Königshalle erweckt die Atmosphäre der historischen Szenerie, in der sich das mittelalterliche Drama Sigurd Jorsalfar abspielt, zum Leben. In der Bühnenmusik wird mit diesem Stück der zweite Akt eingeleitet, in dem die beiden Brüder zum Wortgefecht um den Königsthron in der Königshalle antreten. Wil van der Beek schuf eine authentische, überzeugende Bearbeitung für Blasorchester von Edvard Griegs Komposition.

Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson influença profondément la littérature norvégienne du XIXème siècle. En 1872, Grieg écrivit une musique de scène pour la nouvelle pièce de thé tre de son ami, intitulée Sigurd Jorsalfar (‘‘Sigurd, le croisé’’). La musique comporte huit pièces, dont deux chorals. En 1892, Grieg remaniait trois de ces pièces qu’il faisait publier un an après, sous forme de suite séparée, Op. 56. La première pièce, Prélude : dans le hall du roi (In The King’sHall) développe un thème solennel qui chemine vers des mélodies plus intimistes auxquelles les bois apportent une coloration nostalgique.

Volume 11 of the “Songs and Choral Works” Series contains the Drei Chöre op. 6 (1892), Reger’s only original composition for a mixed vocal scoring and piano, in which he used his two-color method of notation for the first time (musical text in black, performance instructions in red). In addition, the volume contains the piano reductions of some of the choral-symphonic works which Reger composed between 1903 and 1914 – the Gesang der Verklärten op. 71, Psalm 100 op. 106, Nonnen op. 112, Einsiedler op. 144a and the Requiem op. 144b, and the Weihegesang WoO V/6 for alto, mixed choir and winds.

In January 2008 the Max-Reger-Institut (MRI) in Karlsruhe began publishing a scholarly-critical edition of the works of Reger (RWA). As a Hybrid Edition it is exploring new approaches in editorial techniques.
The digital component for this volume will be published in an online portal.
