Peter Heise's 'Marshal Stig' Overture was finished in 1856. Heise was inspired to write this piece by Carsten Hauch's play about Marshal Stig Andersen and the murder of the Danish King Erik Klipping in 1286, set at the Royal Theatre in 1850. He first wrote a song on the subject, which he then used as a point of departure for this concert overture – a programmatic piece of music, retelling the legend by musical means.

Some twenty years later Heise reworked and shortened it to become the overture to his opera on the same subject, Drot og Marsk (King and Marshal).

The overture was originally published by the Danish Centre for Music Publication of the Royal Library, now available as part of Edition·S’ DCM (Danish Classical Music) series.
