| Added by magataganm, 01 Sep 2023 Edvard Hagerup Grieg (1843 – 1907) was a Norwegian composer and pianist. He is widely considered one of the leading Romantic era composers, and his music is part of the standard classical repertoire worldwide. His use of Norwegian folk music in his own compositions brought the music of Norway to fame, as well as helping to develop a national identity, much as Jean Sibelius did in Finland and Bed?ich Smetana in Bohemia. He is the most celebrated person from the city of Bergen, with numerous statues which depict his image, and many cultural entities named after him: the city's largest concert building (Grieg Hall), its most advanced music school (Grieg Academy) and its professional choir (Edvard Grieg Kor). The Edvard Grieg Museum at Grieg's former home Troldhaugen is dedicated to his legacy. Grieg composed the incidental music for Henrik Ibsen's play Peer Gynt, which includes the excerpts "In the Hall of the Mountain King" and "Morning Mood". In an 1874 letter to his friend Frants Beyer, Grieg expressed his unhappiness with "Dance of the Mountain King's Daughter", one of the movements in the Peer Gynt incidental music, writing "I have also written something for the scene in the hall of the mountain King – something that I literally can't bear listening to because it absolutely reeks of cow-pies, exaggerated Norwegian nationalism, and trollish self-satisfaction! But I have a hunch that the irony will be discernible. The Paulsen settings (Five Songs By John Paulsen: Op. 58) “are among Grieg’s weakest, which is not to be wondered at when one reads the generally unimportant, often utterly flat verses which could not possibly engage the deeper powers of Grieg” (ibid. 318). Half a century later Benestad and Schjelderup-Ebbe wrote: “Unfortunately, the Five Songs, Opus 58, and Six Elegiac Songs Opus 59 – both with texts by John Paulsen – are among his weakest. It is surprising that these banal rhymes, which are almost totally devoid of artistic feeling, could give him such enthusiasm for work” (Benestad and Schjelderup-Ebbe 1988: 323). I couldn't DISAGREE more! Source: Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edvard_Grieg). Although originally composed for Voice (mezzo-Soprano) and Piano, I created this Interpretation of "Hjemkomst" from 5 Songs of Norway (Op. 58 No. 1) for Oboe & Piano.
