Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 for Saxophone Quartet

Peer Gynt Suite No. 1

Music by Edvard Grieg
Arranged by Steve Winstead

Grade 4
Duration ca. 13:00 if all four movements are performed

Containing two of Grieg's most famous melodies, the Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, Op. 46 is a work in four movements. The iconic Morning Mood sets a tone of awakening, which is followed by the slow and dark Aese's Death. The lilting Anitra's Dance provides a jovial aside before the suite finishes with the instantly-recognizable In the Hall of the Mountain King. The piece in its entirety will round out any type of recital or formal event, and the individual movements can be used to fill out themed activities.
