Two Grieg Lyric Pieces By Grieg Arr. Stephen Chin
Grieg's music is a beautiful representation of Norwegian folk songs; these pieces are no exception. The "Watchman's Song" has a haunting quality, with a section where the watchman sees a ghostly apparition. The use of tremolo in this section is particularly effective in conveying the eerie atmosphere. The melancholic waltz that follows is reminiscent of being in a dimly lit troll's cave, with its mournful melody and slow tempo. The contrast of keys and playing styles in these works adds depth and complexity, making them a great choice for refining any ensemble. Overall, these pieces are a testament to Grieg's skill in capturing the essence of Norwegian folk music and bringing it to life through his compositions.

In this work, I aimed to capture the feeling of sea spray, the beauty of green pastures, and the vibrant atmosphere of nearby towns, using musical textures such as pizzicato, sustained notes, bass melodies, and a reflective violin solo.
