THE ADVENTURES OF PEER GYNT AND THE FIREBIRD MSO 2019 TEACHING AND LEARNING GUIDE – 5 SECTION 3 A WORD FROM OUR MUSICIANS PRUDENCE DAVIS PRINCIPAL FLUTE, MSO Q: Tell us about what Morning (from Peer Gynt) means to you as a flautist. A: One of the most iconic opening flute solos in the orchestral repertoire, Grieg’s Morning gently heralds the new dawn. It does this with a simple melody that weaves then develops from the simple flute line into a full-bodied, sweeping orchestral melody which envelops the listener in a deep wash of colourful harmonies. The rolling rhythm prevalent throughout the piece connects all the ideas that Grieg presents and gives the listener a reassuring sense that at the end of a long night there will always be a new dawn full of anticipation and hope. The final moments of the piece leave the listener with a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. The simple melody returns with the promise of the morning. BENJAMIN NORTHEY ASSOCIATE PRINCIPAL CONDUCTOR, MSO Q: What do you love most about Elena Kats-Chernin’s Dance of the Paper Umbrellas? A: Dance of the Paper Umbrellas is a perfect example of the ability music has to paint a picture. The music starts like rain drops and the composer creates a magical world of rhythm and melody. It’s very much like a ballet piece in many ways; delicate and beautiful. ABBEY EDLIN FRENCH HORN, MSO Q: Tell us about what why you love Stravinsky’s Firebird suite. A: I love playing Stravinsky’s Firebird. It has some great moments for horn; in particular, the horn solo in the finale is so beautiful. I love the way it emerges and seems to float out over the orchestra. My favourite movement play is the Infernal Dance. It’s such an exciting piece of music and Stravinsky really pushes musicians to play to their extremes. The second and fourth horn parts are written quite low in the [horn’s] register, so you have to work really hard to get the syncopated rhythms clear and in time so they cut through [the overall orchestral sound] and don’t sound late. Also, I know it’s not a horn part, but I love the crazy trombone glissandi from the 1919 version. It’s just so random and chaotic!

    Peer Gynt: Suite No. 1 Instrumentation: piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, strings. Duration: 15 minutes in four movements. THE COMPOSER – EDVARD GRIEG (1843-1907) – Grieg spent much of the 1870s collaborating with famous countrymen authors. With Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, the composer had hoped to mount a grand operatic history of King Olav Tryggvason but the two artists soon ran afoul of one another. A possible contributing factor was Grieg’s moonlighting project with Henrik Ibsen but, in truth, Bjørnson and the composer had been nursing hurt feelings for a while by the time the latter began to stray. THE MUSIC – As it turned out, Grieg’s back-up plan was more challenging than rewarding at first. He was to compose incidental music that expanded and stitched together the sections of Ibsen’s epic poem. This he did with delight, but soon found the restrictions of the theatrical setting more a burden than a help creatively. “In no case,” he claimed, “had I opportunity to write as I wanted” but the 1876 premiere was a huge success regardless. Grieg seized the chance to re-work some of the music and add new segments during the 1885 revival and did the same in 1902. The two suites he published in 1888 and 1893 likely represent his most ardent hopes for his part of the project and stand today as some of his most potently memorable work. Ibsen’s play depicted the globetrotting rise and fall of a highly symbolic Norwegian anti-hero and, in spite of all the aforementioned struggles, the author could not have chosen a better partner than Grieg to enhance the words with sound.

Music reaches deep into our nature to console us, to reassure us, and to help us express who we are. All people, from the earliest recorded history, have created music. Like birds and whales, humans have a natural tendency to make sounds and to respond to them. When music is pleasurable, it says something to us. It communicates a feeling or conveys a message.

  • Edvard Grieg's Orchestral Style
    Bjarte Engeset: EDVARD GRIEG’S ORCHESTRAL STYLE - a conductor’s point of view Good morning, everybody! Edvard Grieg (1843–1907) wrote the following after he had performed his Norwegian Peasant Dances (Slåtter) op. 72: I played them with all my love and all my troll magic. 1 Jeg spillede dem med al den Kjærlighed og Troldskab, jeg ejede. In the written introduction to Slåtter he uses similar word pairs describing the music: «their combination of nice and pure grace with bold power and untamed ferocity».2 In such associative word pairings, close to value-laden concepts like God and Devil, Culture and Barbarism, Grieg reveals his aesthetics. I therefore use this contrastive sentence as disposition for this study of Grieg’s universe of orchestral sonorities: [1] «Love» (Colour) «A World of Sonorities» «The Path of Poetry» «Imbued with the one great Tone» «The transparent Clarity» «This Natural Freshness» «Troll magic» (Contour) «Rhythmical Punctuation» «Brave and bizarre Phantasy» «The Horror and Songs of the Waterfall» These symbol loaded bars from Night Scene in Peer Gynt op. 23, depicts in a condensed way this universe: Example 1: Night Scene (Peer Gynt op. 23), bb. 19–23. [2] Grieg here links very different colours. The first augmented chord is dominated by a stopped horn note marked fp, floating into a soft and bright A-major chord marked pp, with a typical sound of two flutes and two clarinets. We are entering a world rich of associations and contrast. Grieg had a great concern for the element of sound colour, so the lack of research in this particular field is both surprising and motivating.

  • The Ugly Duckling
    The Ugly Duckling Introduce your students to the story of The Ugly Duckling. We suggest some of these beautifully illustrated books, which can be found at your local library or bookseller or online at Amazon.com: this story by Hans Christian Andersen emphasizes that others should value people for their inner beauty, since you cannot tell what people are truly like based on appearances alone. The music from Once Upon a Symphony is found on this Spotify playlist. Here’s how the music helps to tell the story: o Morning Mood from Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 by Edvard Grieg . This piece sets the summer scene of Mother Duck waiting patiently on her nest for her ducklings to hatch. o The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi . Autumn - This music expresses the daily life on a farm and the joy of the harvest. Winter – This piece illustrates the cold winter weather and the cold, lonely Duckling. Spring – The warm sun returns and the Ugly Duckling realizes that he is actually a beautiful swan. o The Blue Danube by Johann Strauss II . With this piece, the ducklings discover the thrill of swimming in the pond. o The Swan by Camille Saint-Saëns . During this iconic music, The Ugly Duckling watches his parents soar overhead as he rejoices in the discovery that he is a swan. o Holberg Suite, Op.40, Rigaudon by Edvard Grieg . This music celebrates the beauty that lives in each of us. As your students listen to Morning Mood, have them pretend that it is early in the morning and they are just waking up.
