Grieg: Lyric Pieces Op.54   No.2 Gangar  Norwegischer Bauernmarsch  -  Norwegian rustic march

Arranged wind quintet

Clarinet in A (Clarinet in Bb is also provided)

Lyric Pieces (Norwegian: Lyriske stykker) is a collection of 66 short pieces for solo piano written by Edvard Grieg. 

They were published in 10 volumes, from 1867 (Op. 12) to 1901 (Op. 71).

The collection includes several of his best known pieces, such as 

Wedding Day at Troldhaugen (Bryllupsdag på Troldhaugen), 
To Spring (Til våren), 
March of the Trolls (Trolltog), and 
Butterfly (Sommerfugl).

This is my arrangement of Op.54 No.2 "Gangar"  (Norwegischer Bauernmarsch  -  Norwegian rustic march)



Tempo marking is Allegretto marcato in 6/8
My arrangement is NOT tutti throughout.

The melody is shared out amongst flute oboe and clarinet.

A beutiful tune for your quintet.

Grieg later arranged four of the pieces from Op.54 as his Lyric Suite for orchestra.

Grieg slightly altered the order of the numbers in the orchestral suite by swapping No. 4 Notturno with No. 3 March of the Dwarfs. The final order of this is:

1. Shepherd Boy
2. Norwegian March
3. Notturno (originally No. 4)
4. March of the Dwarfs (originally No. 3).

check out my other Grieg arrangements. I have now arranged all 4 of his Lyric Suite for wind quintet.
