Wil van der Beek bearbeitete den feierlichen Huldigungsmarsch aus diesem Werk fur Blasorchester. La Marche d'Hommage de l'acte III de la suite orchestrale Sigurd Jorsalfar d'Edvard Grieg, se trouve a l'oppose des marches au caractere sombre ou martial. L'introduction en forme de fanfare est superbement lyrique. Puis vient l'exposition d'un theme joue cantabile. L'instrumentation developpe quelque peu le theme initial avec des accents rythmiques a la basse. Le theme de la marche est ainsi amorce. Un trio central, lumineux et serein, precede le retour du theme de marche au tutti.
