March of The Dwarfs Op 54 #3

OMEA 2012, Class A: Normally in stock: play all: From Grieg's "Lyric Pieces," Op. 54, this well-known and descriptive 1891 composition was written after the composer's trip to the Jotunheimen mountainsin Norway, and is meant to portray mystical nocturnal creatures swarming about"with much boisterous activity." Written in D minor, the dynamic tone paintingranges from a whisper all the way up to a thunderous marching chorus of multitudes of marching dwarves, contrasted by a peaceful, idyllic and folksong-like middle section.
