in 1874 henrik ibsen invited edvard grieg to compose incidental music for a staged version of his norwegian verse drama peer gunt. the result of this collaboration between norway's greatest dramatist and its greatest composer was a set of pieces that have become among the best known and best loved of the late 19th century.
grieg's complete incidental music to peer gunt is comprised of 22 pieces; it is the two orchestral suites arranged from eight of these pieces that have become staples of the repertoire, with innumerable performances and dozens of recordings. this inexpensive, authoritative edition contains both suites complete, including such concert hall favorites as "morning mood," "anitras dance" and "in the hall of the mountain king." musicians and music lovers will appreciate having these favorite scores in one handy wlume; students and scholars will want to have them on hand for the study of grieg's melodic and harmonic style and orchestration, as well as for his influence on a wide range of composers, from debussy to sibelius.
