Lumbye composed a number of marches and waltzes that were specifically dedicated to Denmark’s house of royalty. Among his later works in this group is the waltz suite from 1868, which follows the traditional pattern: an introductory Entré followed by four waltzes and a coda that repeats the melody from Waltz no. 1. The suite was composed for the German-born Queen Louise (1817-1898). In 1842, she had married the Danish Prince Christian (1818-1906) and she subsequently became Queen of Denmark upon her husband’s accession to the throne as King Christian IX in 1863.
