Solveig’s Song (from Peer Gynt Suite No. 2)

Composed by Edvard Grieg in 1875, music from Peer Gynt was originally incidental music for Henrik Ibsen’s five-act play. The beautiful Solveig’s Song is from the second orchestral suite later extracted by Grieg. Johnnie’s tender setting opens with a lyric theme scored for the trumpet section. A brief andante section features the woodwinds before returning to the opening melody this time richly scored for full band. A beautiful work for teaching lyric style playing.
