The incidental music to the satirical play Folkeraadet (The Council of the People) by the Norwegian playwright Gunnar Heiberg (1857-1929) was composed for a performance in Christiania (Oslo) in 1897. It consists of a prelude to Act I, three interludes, and two brief passages of melodrama to accompany specific spoken passages. The music caused uproar in Norway because of the satirical presentation of the national anthem, Ja, vi elsker, in the prelude (RL, 61). The unaltered score, without the melodrama passages, was subsequently retitled Norwegian Suite. While it was performed in parts at various times, it was only in 1974 that it was heard as a complete suite.
