En 1888, Grieg organisé quatre pièces de sa musique de scène pour le drame verset Peer Gynt d'Ibsen pour former une suite d'orchestre (op. 46). Elle a été suivie en 1891 par une deuxième suite pour orchestre (op. 55) comprenant encore 4 pièces. Les deux suites sont rapidement devenus établis dans le répertoire de concert et ont largement contribué à la renommée internationale de Grieg. Il a fait des arrangements pour piano des deux suites et publié simultanément avec les suites pour orchestre en 1888 et 1893. Grieg ensuite fait d'autresajustements dans les pièces pour piano: raccourcir certains, par exemple 'Morning', et l'expansion d'autres comme 'La mort de l'ASE'. Dans l'ensemble, Grieg réduit la conception orchestrale dramatique au profit d'une expression plus intime et effets plus sobre. / Piano

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.

Par GRIEG EDVARD. This stringset Suite from Peer Gynt contains a score and 16 parts. It is appropriate for an intermediate level player and explores a varied programme of 4 movements. 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. Later, in 1888 and 1891, Grieg extracted eight movements to make two four-movement suites: Suite No. 1, Op. 46, and Suite No. 2, Op. 55. / Ensemble Music / Répertoire / Violon, Violoncelle, Alto et Contrebasse

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

An beautiful arrangement of this wonderful melody from Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite.
