ISBN 9783254083753. German.

Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) was a celebrated figure in the European music scene in his own lifetime. Warmly welcomed and recommended by Liszt and highly esteemed by Brahms and Tchaikovsky, he took the concert halls by storm with his compositions, influenced by the late-Romantic spirit and advancing as far as musical Impressionism, such the Piano Concerto, the music of Ibsen's Peer Gynt and numerous songs. His Lyrical Pieces delighted all piano-playing music lovers.Grieg had studied at the Leipzig Conservatoire and once called himself 'musically speaking, entirely German'. After his return to his home country, he listened with rapt attention to the songs and dances of the Norwegian farmers and developed his characteristic style on the basis of this music. To him, that was not only a musical, but also a political issue. Grieg, a master of poetry in music, was both an active democrat and a patriot, his ideals being justice and humanity.

Edvard Grieg heeft een onuitwisbare invloed op de Scandinavische muziek gehad. De drie Noorse liederen die in dit stuk zijn verwerkt - Fremad! Fremad!, Stille Nu! en Fola,Fola,Blakken- zijn representatief voor het Noorsemuzikale karakter. Jacob de Haan heeft de liederen vakkundig bewerkt voor esembles met een variabele instrumentatie. Omdat ze zorgvuldig zijn georkestreerd voor moeilijkheidsgraad 2, is Norwegian Songs ook voor jonge orkestentoegankelijk. De rijke instumentale kleuren blazen deze aansprekende nummers nieuw leven in!

Jacob de Haan arrangierte drei Lieder von Edvard Grieg und fasste sie in einer dreiteiligen Suite für ein vierstimmig variables Ensemble oder Blasorchester mit optionalen Mallet- und Klavierstimmen zusammen. Die verschiedenen Charaktere der einzelnen Teile - von majestätisch über melancholisch-traurig bis zu ausgelassen-fröhlich - stellen Ihr Orchester auf die Probe. Ein höchst interessantes Werk, in dem viele Facetten Norwegens musikalisch dargestellt werden!

Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) a délibérément choisi de donner ses œuvres une touche norvégienne et nordique très personnelle. La notoriété de plusieurs de ses œuvres a dépassé les frontières de la Scandinavie. Ainsi, le Concerto pour piano en La mineur (1868) et la musique de scène Peer Gynt (1876) ont été salués par les mélomanes du monde entier. Edvard Grieg a également composé un grand nombre de mélodies, chansons et lieder. Jacob de Haana choisi d’arranger trois de ces chansons : Fremad!, Fremad!, une chanson au caractère majestueux ; Stille Nu!, plus mélancolique en raison de sa tonalité mineure et Fola, Fola, Blakken, unallegro plein de gaieté qui vient conclure cette petite suite en trois parties.

The melodies, harmonies, moods and rhythms of Norwegian folk songs and dance (even the sounds of Norwegian folk instruments) permeate the music of Edvard Grieg (1843-1907). After studying in Leipzig and Copenhagen he returned to Norway and a chance meeting with Norwegian nationalist Rikard Nordraak ignited his interest in folk music and laid the foundation for his compositional style. His most famous orchestral works are the Piano Concerto (1868) and the incidental music to Ibsen’s play Peer Gynt (1875). He wrote many collections of folk music for piano and these two tunes come from his 25 Norwegian Folk Songs and Dances, op. 17.

From his Album for Male Voices, Op. 30, a set of 12 Norwegian folksongs set for chorus with male leads, The Great Angelic Host was arranged for double mixed chorus by Eyvind H. Bull, and has here been edited by Walter Aschenbrenner. We are pleased to make this exquisite choral work available once again. David Monrad Johansen, in his published life of Grieg, was moved to say, In The Great Angelic Host true religious feeling has been given the purest expression. This composition shows what wonderful material we have right at hand on which to base a future church music for Norway..
