These are my interpretations of Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt.  Also, I added Puck, even though it is not in the suite... I did this because, well it's Puck...

Peer Gynt's Peer

28 audio tracks representing all of the instruments in the 1875 Peer Gynt score by Edvard Grieg. Norwegian goodness!

From Wikipedia: The piece is played as the title character Peer Gynt, in a dream-like fantasy, enters "Dovregubbens (the troll Mountain King's) hall". 

There is a great crowd of troll courtiers, gnomes and goblins. Dovregubben sits on his throne, with crown and sceptre, surrounded by his children and relatives. Peer Gynt stands before him. There is a tremendous uproar in the hall.

This is Grieg's Anitra's Dance. This interpretation consists of 17 tracks. I created a fender rhodes part from the pizzicato of the violins, viola and cello to accompany the violin and cello solo parts. In addition, i added some temple bells and of course scored a drum track which was absent in the original. I hop you enjoy it!

The song is in the key of A minor and the tempo is 160 BPM. That is a little faster than the score indicates the tempo should be but I like it at this speed.

This is a eight track interpretation of Opus 71's Puck written by Edvard Grieg. It is a lyric piece for piano, to which I have substituted Electric Guitar, Synthesizer, Piano Samples and other sounds.  It is quick and fast, and this is my interpretation. I'm really proud of the drums....

This is 12 tracks of audio representing my take on Edvard Greig's Morning Mood.  I hope you enjoy it. this is the first pass at mixing and I may change a few instruments. I need to listed to it over and over before I determine that....

Morning Mood - Morgenstemning i ørkenen

This is from Peer Gynt and is the Death of Ase or Åses død. The piece is in B Minor. I redid my original version and paired it down for a minimalist approach.  I put the tempo of the piece at 40 BPM for more gravitas, as if it didn't have enough already!

I create electronic music in the spirit of Tomita and Wendy Carlos. I also like to rock and am into Pink Floyd. I have been a user of Cakewalk since version 1.0 and currently use Reason, Cakewalk and Audacity along with a studio full of electronic instruments and effects. I play with local musicians and I work at composing electronic renditions of classical music.
