Subject: The Habbestad Ensemble Concert, Oct, 18 at 7 p.m.
Submitter: Merilee I Klemp, Associate Professor, Music

Message: The Habbestad Ensemble from Norway will be presenting the US premiere of Kjell Habbestad's "Terje Vigen" on Wednesday evening at 7 PM in Sateren auditorium. Kjell Habbestad is a composer and a member of the faculty at the Norwegian Academy of Music. His opus list includes over 80 compositions including works for orchestra, choir, and chamber ensembles as well as three operas, one oratorio, and a large quantity of church music. This event "kicks-off" our own campus events commemorating the centennial of the death of Henrik ibsen.
"Terje Vigen" (pronounced tehryeh veegen) is the finest product of the poetic genius of Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906), who is best known as the greatest playwright of the nineteenth century. Ibsen's dramatic poem about love and hate, bitterness and forgiveness, has fired the imagination of Norwegian readers for over a century. Indeed, many Norwegian children learn it by heart - all 43 stanzas!- during their school days. William H. Halverson ('51), who specializes in the translation of books and other materials dealing with Norwegian music, has prepared a new translation of this epic poem. He will present a brief introduction to the concert tomorrow evening.
