March of the Trolls
Edvard Grieg (1843–1907) is best known for his eternally popular Piano Concerto in A Minor, as well as more than 150 songs and 66 lyric pieces. March of the Trolls is from his Lyric Pieces, Op. 54. Trolls are a constant theme in Norwegian folklore and can be viewed as the equivalent of our “boogie man.” Far to the north in Norway where the winter storms whip the weather-beaten coasts, you will find dark forests with moonlit lakes, deep fjords surrounded by mighty snowcapped mountains, and long rivers and cold streams cascading down the mountain sides. This is where you might find the irritable, short-tempered trolls coming out of their hiding places after sunset, marching to wreck havoc on unsuspecting Norwegian households. Wait and see what your audience will do when the Trolls march up and down the aisles of your next concert! (3:48)SKU: AL33859 -

Peer Gynt Suite
Edvard Grieg’s early musical training took place in Germany, but philosophical constraints sent him back to his native Norway, where he began what is now referred to as the Norwegian School. He is best known for his Peery Gynt Suites, No. 1 & No. 2, originally written as orchestral suites and as incidental accompaniments for Ibsen’s epic drama. This sparkling scoring includes Morning Mood, The Death of Ase, Anitra’s Dance, and In The Hall Of The Mountain King. (4:56)

Solveig’s Song (from Peer Gynt Suite No. 2)
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.SKU: HLPC23000
