Norwegian [[Edvard Grieg]] composed the ''[[Holberg Suite]]'' (opus 40) to honor Holberg. The suite is in the style of country dances from Holberg's time.  In 1911 [[Johan Halvorsen]] composed incidental music for a production of Holberg's ''Barselstuen'' (The Lying-in Room) in [[Oslo]]. Halvorsen later arranged the music into his ''Suite Ancienne'' op. 31, which he dedicated to the memory of Holberg.
