"Peer Gynt" is a play by the Norwegian poet/playwright Henrik Ibsen for which Edvard Grieg wrote incidental music. The music for this play is most familiar in the form of two Concert Suites of 4 movements created by Grieg some years later. The Peer Gynt Suite No.1 Op.46 is the best known and its four movements in English are called "Morning Mood," "The Death of Ase," "Anitra's Dance," and "In the Hall of the Mountain King." The music on this page is "Morning Mood" and will be familiar to many people from its frequent use of television adverts to convey a relaxed pastoral mood.
