Death of Ase Duet (Grieg)

[rrayner]

"Death of Ase" is from the "Peer Gynt Suite", written by Edvard Grieg in 1874. The original piece was scored for string ensemble, but the tempo is slow enough to find plenty of places for wind instrument players to breathe. This reduction is much easier to play than "Anitra's Dance".

I love the harmonies and the moving harmonic lines within the piece.
