Edvard Grieg's choral music has remained little known outside
Scandinavia. One of the chief aims of this book is to bring this
body of work to the notice of a wider audience, in the hope that it
may receive greater prominence in concert programmes. Choral pieces
form a relatively small proportion of Grieg's total output,
although works such as the Album for Male Voices and the Four
Psalms represent significant developments in his compositional
career. In this study Beryl Foster not only provides an in-depth
examination of this music, but also presents a picture of Norwegian
musical life in the second half of the nineteenth century. An
overview of Norway's choral tradition from the Middle Ages provides
the historical context from which Grieg came to the genre.
Subsequent chapters discuss in detail the types of choral works
that he wrote, such as occasional and commemorative pieces,
dramatic works and solo song arrangements. A set of useful
appendices, including a chronological list of works and a
discography complete this original survey.
