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).
Over a decade after composing the full incidental music for Peer Gynt, Grieg extracted eight movements to make two four-movement suites known as the Peer Gynt Suites Nos 1 and 2.
These 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.
A typical rendition of both suites lasts 20 to 35 minutes.
Suite No. 1 is better known as it contains both "Morning" and "The Hall of the Mountain King" , but Suite No.2 contains the delightful Solveig's Song which is arranged here.
I have arranged all of Suite No.1. You can find it here, and my other Grieg arrangements here.
