Edvard Grieg, who, like Holberg, was born in Bergen, was commissioned to write an open-air cantata for the ceremony. But he also refers to Holberg in his instrumental music. The result was a \"powdered wig piece\" (as Grieg wrote to his publisher) that hearkens back to Holberg's era - a historicising suite of baroque dances for piano, ranging from an exhilarating prelude and several dance numbers to a Bachian \"air\" and an impetuous \"rigaudon\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLater Grieg arranged his \"Suite in the Olden Style\" for string orchestra.
