Bønder i Byen (Fra Småbyskisser)

Sverre Bergh (1915-1980) was a central character in the music scene in Bergen, both as a musical leader at “Den Nationale Scene” (theatre) and as a director for the “Festspillene” music festival. He was an arranger and pianist for the NorwegianBroadcasting Company (NRK), and wrote stage- and film scores as well as piano pieces.

“Country-Folk in Town” is one movement from “Village Sketches”. This small overture was written for the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra.
