Entry March Of The Boyars
''Entry March of the Boyars'' () is an orchestral composition, written in 1893 from the pen of the Norwegian Johan Halvorsen (1864–1935). It is one of the most popular works of the composer, and quickly became an international success. The piece has an occupational inspiration behind it. Halvorsen was offered a post at Bucharest Conservatory but he declined. He became however interested in the city and read about it and the entry of the Romanian boyars into Bucharest in the 18th century. The scene almost "forced" him to compose music out of it. The music was first used as stage music at the Bergen theatre where he worked as the director of music. Two years later Halvorsen published an arrangement of the piece for a symphony orchestra. The melody has been used as a signature tune for the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation's weekly radio program '' Ønskekonserten'' since its start in 1950.
