About this item
The minimum number of instruments envisaged is strings, flute 1, clarinets 1 & 2 and trumpets 1 & 2. The piano part in the score is primarily to assist at rehearsals but it can also be used in performances if there is a shortage of the lower instruments. Where the word "harp" appears in the piano part these chords should be played arpeggiando. This March has been arranged from the Suite "Sigurd Jorsalfar Op.56".

Composer
Edvard Grieg (1843-1907)
Edvard Hagerup Grieg (15 June 1843 – 4 September 1907) was a Norwegian composer and pianist. He is best known for his Piano Concerto in A minor, for his incidental music to Henrik Ibsen's play Peer Gynt (which includes Morning Mood and In the Hall of the Mountain King), and for his collection of piano miniatures Lyric Pieces.
Edvard Hagerup Grieg was born in Bergen, Norway on 15 June 1843. His parents were Alexander Grieg (1806–1875), a merchant and vice consul in Bergen, and Gesine Judithe Hagerup (1814–1875), a music teacher and daughter of Edvard Hagerup.[2][3] The family name, originally spelled Greig, has Scottish origins. After the Battle of Culloden in 1746, however, Grieg's great-grandfather traveled widely, settling in Norway about 1770, and establishing business interests in Bergen.
Grieg is renowned as a nationalist composer, drawing inspiration from Norwegian folk music. Early works include a symphony (which he later suppressed) and a piano sonata. He also wrote three sonatas for violin and piano and a cello sonata
