It is not entirely sure where the melody originates that forms the basis for Norwegian Overture. Most sources point in the direction of a certain J. H. Nebelong in about 1881. It is also possible that he was the first to note down this traditional melody and put his name to it. The lyrics are by a certain A. H. Brorson and were set to the music at a later date. The original title is 'store hvide flok', which means 'the big white herd'. Several composers have used this theme, including Edvard Grieg and the Danish Carl Nielsen.
