Jean Sibelius composed the King Christian II Suite in 1898. The concert suite is a selection from Sibelius' own incidental music—originally composed for the Scandinavian historical play King Christian II (written by his friend Adolf Paul).
The original play deals with the love of King Christian II, ruler of Denmark, Sweden and Norway, for a Dutch girl Dyvecke — a commoner.
(Incidentally, I live abt 10 mins walk from Dyveke's Bridge in Oslo, named after her.)

Incidentally, I read on another forum that 9iv. has a Scandanavian connection (in both senses). Not that you're responsible for answering all Scandanavian-related Qs of course. (Subtext: yes you are) ;)
