Our Norwegian composer Johan Halvorsen, a worldclass composer in every detail, enjoy every second of his mastership, then come to Norway, the most hospitabel and beautiful country on this planet, yea be prepared, it's extremely expensive here, but worth while
Well, Jim, no ads YET. Don't wait for the vultures to find this lovely work as prey. As for me, I use the ASP ad-killer. It really works! Everyone should have it. TIS FREE!

I especially love the Sarabande. I recently watched the 1993 film Shadowlands, and the music that plays over the closing credits seems to be eerily reminiscent of the Sarabande.
Cor, thanks for starting me off on the names of the movements. Here are their locations within the video: Intrada: 00:00 Air and variations: 05:20 Gigue: 16:12 Sarabande: 20:51 Bouree: 24:41 It also helped that Armonia changed the picture for each movement. The air & sarabande are not for the impatient. :-)
Very attractive music from a younger relative (by marriage) of Grieg--- from the incidental music of a play about Holberg- who's time Grieg's great suite was inspired by...
In 1911 Johan Halvorsen composed incidental music for a production of Ludvig Holberg's play The Lying-in Room and later arranged the music into his Suite Ancienne Op. 31. The suite in five movements contains some of Halvorsen's most descriptive musical output. In harmony and instrumentation, he bursts the bounds of his baroque canvas, imbuing his music with the unmistakable stamp of Neoclassicism. The five movements consists of: 1. Intrada, 2. Air con variations, 3. Gigue, 4. Sarabande, and 5. Bouree. This work may be played as a complete entity or each of the movements may be performed individually.
Here I am again! There is a Halloween motif in the latter part of this work. Wonder if that was original or borrowed. Also I caught the Brit Isles folk ballad, "I'll Go No More A-Rovin.'"
Also, an earlier recording of this has just been posted. Great performance, spirited playing; unfortunately, the Sarabande movement is missing from it. But still worth sampling.
Would someone please download Halvorsen Symphony #1? It has about the same spirit as this. It is far superior to his Sym #2. Oh yes, I love this lyrical gem!
+Roger Wilco Great stuff, I agree. And I would like to see Halvorsen's Norwegian Dances, which appear on X-Box, transferred here to RUclips as was done with Svendsen's Norwegian Rhapsodies, also very good.
Roger Wilco Try Halvorsen's Fossegrimen Suite as well, taking particular note of the "Fanitullen" movement which ends the presentation. In it the Hardingfels solo is completely on its own, with a very unique sound. I would wonder what you might think of the entire suite altogether.
Wonderful music of the highest order by a composer unknown to me. Thank you for this gem.

I especially like this because it starts out right away with no digital buffering and no ads.

I sure like this.Haven't tuned in here to hear it for a while.

From the very first note I knew it was going to be enjoyable! Thanks for the upload!
fantastic, thank you for uploading
I agree! It's an exciting piece to listen to!
Love this! Thanks for sharing.

What is the play about? No description on the internet.
In 1911 Johan Halvorsen composed incidental music for a production of Ludvig Holberg's play The Lying-in Room and later arranged the music into his Suite Ancienne Op. 31.

I can't conceive of this work performed other than as a complete entity.
Thanks!
I know that. I love classical stuff.
Nydelig stykke, men jeg vet ikke hva de 5 satsene heter, bare at en sats heter Air con variazone.
Here I am again! There is a Halloween motif in the latter part of this work. Wonder if that was original or borrowed. Also I caught the Brit Isles folk ballad, "I'll Go No More A-Rovin.'"
His symphonies are really good too, unfortunately they are hard to come by.
Överraskande vacker och senromantisk musik komponerat med stor känsla för melodik och harmoni.
Or pieces!!
This piece is well-known. However, there's only one version here. This is a good version though.
+Roger Wilco This I will agree with, although it could be better known.
Also, an earlier recording of this has just been posted. Great performance, spirited playing; unfortunately, the Sarabande movement is missing from it. But still worth sampling.
My blood 🩸 relative my name is Jason Halvorsen
Det er nydelig!

+Roger Wilco Update - Halvorsen's Norwegian Dances have just been uploaded - some Norwegian performer whose name I can't remember - enjoy them!
+alger3041 Oh yeah. I found several versions. :) Thanks.
You can tell that Johan Halvorsen was inspired and influenced by the music from Mozart.
There is no resemblance to Mozart motifs or style anywhere in this piece. You are somehow deluded.
Vakker...
Halvorsen er desverre lite spilt av div kanaler.Han fortjener bedre.
