Ase Certicication

Edvard Hagerup Grieg (Norwegian pronunciation was a Norwegian composer and pianist. He is widely considered one of the leading Romantic era composers, and his music is part of the standard classical repertoire worldwide. His use and development of Norwegian folk music in his own compositions brought the music of Norway to international consciousness, as well as helping to develop a national identity, much as Jean Sibelius and Bedrich Smetana did in Finland and Bohemia, respectively.

Alfred Schnittke's score for the full length ballet, 'Peer Gynt,' is one of the orchestral masterworks of his final period. The libretto transplants Peer from the situations in Ibsen's famous play to analogous ones of the modern world. The musical universe is as far removed from the world of Grieg's famous incidental music as can be imagined. The composer's famous polystylism is used to depict the various worlds that Peer encounters along his travels–a ragtime polka for Hollywood and the film industry, a pseudo bit of Grieg for his yearnings for home, and so forth. Because of the dramatic context, the individual numbers are of manageable length, and the composer's experience as the creator of some sixty film scores comes fully into play.
