Grieg’s Lyric Pieces for flute choir

Waltz, Nocturne, and Puck are the three movements that exemplify one of Norway’s greatest composers. These “mood sketches” that are derived from nationalistic folk music are translated superbly into the flute choir idiom. The styles exemplified are lyrical and sweet, moving through a melancholy tune, culminating in a musical jaunt of frivolity and humor.
