Ballet en quatre actes par August Bournonville

Opus 67
HartW 8
DF 209

Choreographer: August Bournonville

Composition: 1867-1868.

August Bournonville got his inspiration for "Thrymskviden" mainly from F.L. Liebenberg's edition of Adam Oehlenschläger's "Nordens Guder". He started working on the ballet in January 1867 and contacted Hartmann in late February. From then on they worked closely together as had been the case with "Valkyrien" (HartW 7), even though the ballet was not officially accepted by the director of The Royal Theatre until 8 February. The costs of sets and costumes were so high that the director recommended that they were divided over two seasons. This was against Bournonville's wish that the first performance should take place in December 1867; unfortunately Hartmann was unable to finish his very complicated score till that time and he did not end-date it until 15 February 1868 - a week before the premiere. After 7 October 1868 the ballet was performed without the recited prologue "Nornerne" (The Norns).

Score, autograph, fair copy

[Classification: Notated music, Manuscript, Autograph, Score, Fair copy, Complete]

This score contains Hartmann's introductory music for the recited prologue by H.P. Holst, entitled "Nornerne" (The Norns). A note on p. 9 indicates that the duration of this prologue was 2½ minutes. The score was used for all performances until Hans Beck's revised staging on 13 January 1901. For that production a completely new score was made (DK-Kk, C II, 114), while the present score was transferred to The Royal Library.
