The occasion for the composition, described as a “suite in the old style”, was the 200th birthday of the Norwegian-Danish poet Ludvik Holberg (1684-1754), which was celebrated in Bergen with several festive events. Initially, a piano version of the work was written in August 1884, but the composer already had the arrangement for string orchestra in mind, which he made just one month later. As a starting point, Grieg chose baroque dance movements from Holberg's era, but skilfully combined them with elements of his own tonal language, such as chromatic progressions and dynamic swells. The orchestral version of the “Holberg Suite”, which was very successful right from the beginning, is still one of Grieg's most popular compositions today and now enriches the Henle programme for string orchestra.

Origi nally written by Edvard Grieg in 1875, this famous mazurka from Peer Gynt Suite #1 runs the stylistic gamut between delicate lyricism and spirited staccato. In his new scoring for standard string orchestra, Finno makes sure that lead material appears in all parts and says that changes in dynamics must be emphasized to give full voice to Grieg's dramatic vision.

This totally unique (and somewhat crazy!) selection by Richard Meyer will be the hit of your holiday concert! Your audience will be delighted when they hear what happens when the festive Welsh carol Deck the Halls is combined with the dark and mysterious Hall of the Mountain King from Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite. Many key playing skills---including accidentals, tempo changes, and important balance issues---are reinforced throughout. Sleigh bells and crash cymbals add just the right amount of color to this fun, good-natured seasonal gem. (2:10).

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).
