Wedding Day at Troldhaugen

This joyful piece was written by Grieg in 1896 for piano to celebrate his 25th Wedding Anniversary, and later included in his eighth book of Lyric Pieces, Op. 65.  The two outer sections are full of celebratory excitement with a wide dynamic range, whilst the middle section is slower and more lyrical.  This setting for 5 flutes is light and energetic with plenty to keep everyone busy!
