Description:
Dag Wirén (1905-1986) came to fame as a composer in 1937 with Serenade for string orchestra, Op. 11, which remains his most played work to date. His opus list is mainly instrumental music; five symphonies, five string quartets, several overtures and a lot of film and theatre music.
He composed the stage music for William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, which was performed at Dramaten in Stockholm in 1944. The drama was performed again in 1961, somewhat revised by Wirén. From this production, Wirén compiled a concert suite that he called Romantic Suite, Op. 22.
The fifth and final movement is Portia's Castle Orchestra, which is based on an Irish folk melody.
This instrumentation for Brass Band is based on the arrangement for wind band by Jerker Johansson. The instrumentation was written for Askøy Brass Band's performance at Siddis Brass 2022.
