Navigation etc.

  • Recorded for Euridice by Harald Bjørkøy (YouTube) and Thor Inge Falsch with Sergej Osadchuk (YouTube).
  • Both piano and orchestral versions were published by Hals (Norsk bokfortegnelse 1883-1890, p.401-402; no orchestral full score listed). The orchestral version is said in Norsk bokfortegnelse to be for orchestra only, without voice. But in the present Hals orchestral parts set there is no intrument carrying the melody, hence this version is actually for voice and orchestra.
