Originally published in 2003, Edvard Grieg and his Songs examines
the lifetime of Edvard Grieg. His songs were among his most popular
and well-known works and both historians and critics have seen in
them, Grieg at his most sophisticated and innovative. Important in
and of themselves, the songs also illuminate critical aspects of
his other works such as his musical impressionism, his use of folk
music as a source of inspiration, and his novel approach towards
harmony. Fifty of Grieg's most important songs form the focus of
this book. Each song is discussed individually and within the wider
context of the composer's output. The book provides a translation
of the lyrics, and analysis of the poem and a description of the
song's form, melody, tessitura, harmony, rhythm and accompaniment,
together with suggestions for interpretation. In addition to this,
the book gives a brief biography of Grieg, with a chapter that
analyses his approach to song writing.
