(Schott). In 1888 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 Ase. Overall, Grieg reduces the dramatic orchestral conception in favour of a more intimate expression and more restrained effects. 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. Show Temporarily out of stock. Peer Gynt, Op. 23, is the incidental music to Henrik Ibsen's 1867 play of the same name, written by the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg in 1875. It premiered along with the play on 24 February 1876 in Christiania (now Oslo).[1] Grieg later created two suites from his Peer Gynt music. Some of the music from these suites has received coverage in popular culture; see Grieg's music in popular culture. Background[edit]Edvard Grieg (1843–1907) was one of the definitive leaders of Scandinavian music and his influence was great. Although composing many short piano pieces and chamber works, the work Grieg did for Henrik Ibsen stood out. Originally composing 90 minutes of orchestral music for the play, he later went back and extracted certain sections for the suites. Peer Gynt's travels around the world and distant lands are represented by the instruments Grieg chooses to use.[2] When Ibsen asked Grieg to write music for the play in 1874, he reluctantly agreed. However, it was much more difficult for Grieg than he imagined, as he wrote to a friend:
Letter from Henrik Ibsen to Grieg, January 23, 1874. Nina Grieg, his wife, wrote of Edvard and his music:
Even though the premiere was a "triumphant success", it prompted Grieg to complain bitterly that the Swedish management of the theatre had given him specifications as to the duration of each number and its order:
For many years, the suites were the only parts of the music that were available, as the original score was not published until 1908, one year after Grieg's death, by Johan Halvorsen.[5] Original score, Op. 23[edit]Various recordings have been made of this music. Some recordings that claim to contain the complete incidental music have 33 selections;[6] the recording conducted by Ole Kristian Ruud is split into 49 items.[7] Both recordings include several verses from the drama, read by actors. The original score contains 26 movements:[5] Movements indicated in bold were extracted by Grieg into two suites.
The complete score of the incidental music includes several songs and choral pieces. The complete score was believed to be lost until the 1980s and has been performed in its entirety only since then.[8] (See the article on Ibsen's play for a list of notable productions, including concert performances of the incidental music.) It was originally orchestrated for: one piccolo, two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets in A, two bassoons, four horns in E, two trumpets in E, three trombones, a tuba, timpani, cymbals, bass drum, triangle, harp, and strings. Over a decade after composing the full incidental music for Peer Gynt, Grieg extracted eight movements to make two four-movement suites. The Peer Gynt suites are among his best-known works, however they initially began as incidental compositions. Suite No. 1, Op. 46 was published in 1888, and Suite No. 2, Op. 55 was published in 1893.[3] A typical rendition of both suites lasts 20 to 35 minutes. Suite No. 1, Op. 46[edit] Suite No. 2, Op. 55[edit]
Originally, the second suite had a fifth number, The Dance of the Mountain King's Daughter, but Grieg withdrew it.[9] What is the story behind Peer Gynt?Ibsen's Peer Gynt explores and satirizes Norwegian culture through the exploits of its charming, arrogant title character, a Norwegian peasant who impulsively abducts a bride from her wedding and then abandons her in order to travel the world on other adventures.
What are the four movements of Peer Gynt Suite No 1?The Music. Movement I: Morning Mood. The first movement within the suite is entitled Morning Mood, and it is one of Grieg's most well-known compositions. ... . Movement II: Aase's Death. ... . Movement III: Anitra's Dance. ... . Movement IV: In the Hall of the Mountain King.. What movie uses Peer Gynt?"Solveig's Song" from Peer Gynt (Grieg) is used as the melodic basis for a track in Vandal Hearts 2, 1999. Power metal/Progressive metal band Kamelot based a song called "Forever" on the melody of "Solveig's Song". This is also mentioned by their now previous singer Roy Khan, on their live DVD One Cold Winters Night.
What do you think is the overall theme story of the piece in Morning Mood?The piece depicts the rising of the sun during act 4, scene 4, of Ibsen's play, which finds Peer Gynt stranded in the Moroccan desert after his companions took his yacht and abandoned him there while he slept.
