Grieg's Sunrise Melodies

Experience the magic of a sunrise with Grieg’s Sunrise Melodies: five romantic piano solos shaped as a programmatic journey from night into daylight. Edvard Grieg’s nature-inspired music, colored by the Nordic light of Norway’s fjords and forests, makes this edition a distinctive set for ambitious pianists.

Notturno, Op. 54 No. 4 (C major) evokes the stillness of night. Arietta, Op. 12 No. 1 (E♭ major) paints the first rays of dawn. Summer Morning, Op. 71 No. 2 (D♭ major) opens the horizon in gold. Morning Mood, from Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, Op. 46 (E major), celebrates the sunrise in a pastoral line. The Brook, Op. 62 No. 4 (B minor), carries the energy of the new day.

Lyric pieces and character pieces from 19th-century Norway — piano sheet music for recital, teaching, and concert programs.
