Suite De Peer Gynt

Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg originally wrote Peer Gynt as the incidental music to Henrik Ibsen's 1867 play of the same name which premiered in 1876. Later in 1888 and 1891 Grieg extracted eightmovements to make two four-movement suites: Suite No. 1 Op. 46 (Morning The death of Ã?se Anitra's dance and In the hall of the mountain king) and Suite No. 2 Op. 55 (The abduction of the bride Arabiandance Peer Gynt's homecoming (stormy evening on the sea) and Solveig's song). Some of these movements have received coverage in popular culture and are thus well-recognised everywhere.This edition of the Peer GyntSuites is arranged for Grade 8 Piano solo.

88 Grieg arranged four pieces from his incidental music for Ibsen’s verse drama Peer Gynt to form an orchestral suite (Op. 46). This was followed in 1891 by a second orchestral suite (Op. 55) again comprising 4 pieces. Both suites quickly became established in the concert repertoire and contributed significantly to Grieg’s international fame. He made piano arrangements of both suites and published them simultaneously with the orchestral suites in 1888 and 1893. Grieg subsequently made further adjustments in the piano pieces: shortening some, for example ‘Morning’, and expanding others like ‘The Death of Åse’. Overall, Grieg reduces the dramatic orchestral conception in favour of a more intimate expression and more restrained effects. Content : Suite 1: Morning-mood - The death of Ase - Anitra's dance - In the hall of the mountain king - Suite 2: Ingrid's lament - Arabian dance - Peer Gynt's return home - Solvejgs song

Version for Piano four-Hands-Grieg?s incidental music for Henrik Ibsen?s drama ?Peer Gynt? contains some of his best-known compositions such as ?Morning Mood? and ?In the hall of the Mountain King?.Grieg later extracted the most beautiful pieces to form two Orchestral suites and arranged himself these versions for Piano solo and Piano four-hands. There was a surprise in store for Henle when they werepreparing this Urtext edition. In the autograph and the first print run the second suite contained another movement the ?Dance of the Mountain King?s Daughter? which Grieg deleted shortly afterwards. Thischarming dance appears in the appendix to this edition printed again for the first time in 120 years! The Norwegian pianist and Grieg expert Einar Steen-Nøkleberg was co-editor for this edition and alsoprovided the new fingerings.

Composed by Edvard Grieg in 1875, music from Peer Gynt was originally incidental music for Henrik Ibsen's five-act play. The beautiful Solveig's Song is from the second orchestral suite later extracted by Grieg. Johnnie's tender setting opens with a lyric theme scored for the trumpet section. A brief andante section features the woodwinds before returning to the opening melody this time richly scored for full band. A beautiful work for teaching lyric style playing.

Ever since the first performance of the Peer Gynt Suite No.1 in 1876 this work has remained one of the most often performed compositions in the romantic repertoire. It was only a matter of time before other ensembles adapted the work and the present arrangement for Woodwind Quintet of the four-movement suite does justice to the sound world of Grieg exploring the subtle nuances of these five very individual instruments. Included are naturally ?Morning? ?Aase?s Death? ?Anitra?s Dance? and the jewel of the suite ?In the Hall of the Mountain King?. The edition also includes a reference score to ease rehearsal ofthe work.- Valuable addition to the Woodwind Quintet literature.- Reference score- Parts for Flute Oboe Clarinet (in A) Horn (in e) Horn Bassoon

The Peer Gynt Suite may be Edvard Grieg's most famous composition. Its melodies have insinuated themselves into our culture so that they are now universally familiar. The movements are: Morning Song Asa's Death Anitra's Dance and In the Hall of the Mountain King. This edition presents for the first time the entire suite in a version for solo guitar. This is a substantial work for the guitarist that while requiring solid technique is quite rewardingfor both the player and the audience. Also included is a transcription of Grieg's beautiful Solveig's Song.'
