"Sju Rosor Och Sju Eldar" is a piano suite composed by Swedish composer Wilhelm Peterson-Berger. The suite was composed in 1916 and premiered the same year in Stockholm. The suite consists of seven movements, each of which is named after a flower or a plant. The first movement, "Rosenknoppen" (The Rosebud), is a delicate and lyrical piece that captures the beauty and fragility of a rosebud. The second movement, "Liljekonvaljen" (The Lily of the Valley), is a graceful and elegant piece that evokes the sweet scent of the flower. The third movement, "Blåsippan" (The Blue Anemone), is a lively and playful piece that captures the energy and vitality of the flower. The fourth movement, "Solskenet" (The Sunshine), is a bright and cheerful piece that evokes the warmth and brightness of the sun. The fifth movement, "Fjärilen" (The Butterfly), is a delicate and fluttering piece that captures the lightness and grace of a butterfly. The sixth movement, "Kärleksört" (The Love Herb), is a romantic and passionate piece that evokes the intensity and depth of love. The final movement, "Elden" (The Fire), is a dramatic and fiery piece that captures the power and intensity of fire. The suite as a whole is characterized by its lyrical melodies, delicate harmonies, and evocative imagery. Peterson-Berger's use of nature imagery and symbolism is a hallmark of his style, and "Sju Rosor Och Sju Eldar" is a prime example of this. The suite is a beautiful and evocative work that showcases Peterson-Berger's talent as a composer.
