This reprint conductor score presents Friedrich Kuhlau’s Elverhøj (Elves’ Hill) Overture, Op. 100, composed in 1828 as the orchestral opening to the Danish singspiel Elverhøj (The Elves’ Hill). Kuhlau lived from 1786 to 1832.
Johan Ludvig Heiberg wrote the singspiel for the wedding festivities of Princess Vilhelm Marie of Denmark. It premiered on November 6, 1828, at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen and helped establish the production as a landmark of Danish culture. Drawing on Danish and Swedish folk melodies and the royal anthem “Kong Christian stod ved højen mast,” the overture combines national-romantic character with orchestral polish and narrative energy.
The full theatrical work is rarely staged internationally today, while the overture remains a concert piece valued for its melodic charm, folkloric roots, and place in Denmark’s musical-cultural heritage. Instrumentation: 2+Picc.2.2.2: 4.2.1.0: Timp.Perc(2-3): Str (9.8.7.6.5 in set).
