Jorsalfar, is a tale of Norway in the time of the Crusades. Sigurd and his brother
Eystein, sons of the great Harald, are fierce rivals, each reigning over part of Norway. At tho end of the play they become reconciled and dedicate themselves jointly to the service of their country.
Grieg wrote incidental music for the production of the play, afterwards recasting several of the movements in the form of a very effective Suite, second in popularity only to the two Suites from his music to Ibsen's Peer Gynt. The three movements are vividly picturesque in the way we expect from Grieg.

ALTHOUGH it was Mendelssohn himself who was responsible for the name of his fourth
Symphony, 'The Italian,' it was not he who invented the name ' The Pilgrims' March' for the second movement. For some generations it has been known by that title, though no one knows how it came by it. It is the one rather grave movement in a symphony which is otherwise bubbling over with sunny brightness, and the opening of it has been spoken of as 'A Call to Prayer.' After that the principal tune is begun by woodwinds and violas together and then violins and flutes carry it on. In the second part of the movement there is another melody which the clarinets play first. (Soloist, P.C. COOK> )
