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)

Sarabande & Gavotte (from the Holberg Suite, Opus 40)
“Sarabande” and “Gavotte” are the second and third movements of the Holberg Suite, Op. 40, a standard movement of the Baroque suite. Both movements may be performed as part of the entire suite or as a stand-alone selection. This arrangement is true to the original work—as feasible and offers the sonorities of the concert band ensemble in a very playable version. The first movement, “Praeludium,” (00-38363) released last season, has recently been selected as Reviewer’s Choice in the October 2012 issue of The Instrumentalist magazine. (7:00)SKU: AL39537
