  • Andante Doloroso.

  • i was praticing this at home and my dad ignore me

    so mean :'( sniff sniff

    i think i sound pretty good though:( and then i start anoying him and he said you sound like you want me dead!

  • Edvard Grieg makes me overly proud to be a Norwegian.

  • @Marriuz Helt enig, men skammer meg over vår generasjons musikk.

  • @Marriuz

    And I'm proud to live in a planet where Norway exists. Greetings from Chile, and may Grieg be forever with us.

  • This is biiiiiiigggggggg music

  • I love to play this in my 8th grade orchestra

  • max manus' friend was tortured to ths in the movie... not the worst song to be tortured to, rather this then some tecno or something!

  • This is beautiful..

  • As a young film composer, I admire old-timers such as Grieg. I have yet to see a film composition that can compete with the likes of this song, although Thomas Newman, Hans Zimmer etc keep the "genre" alive. Such a shame that one have to work towards the film industry to become famous as a classical composer these days. It's almost like humans lost grip of how emotional and beautiful this type of art can be.

  • @joakim2k10 that goes the same for "art" no one can top what's been done...art and music doesn"t gets you money so nobody cares...

  • @joakim2k10 Keep going, man. I see myself being moved by Newman and Zimmer all the time. Maybe one day you will write something that moves me too :)

  • @iseeu1980 Thanks! Only time will tell. :)

  • @joakim2k10 Keep that ardor alive. We need more classical composers in this world :)

  • Some of the most raw, tender music I have ever had the honor of hearing.

  • Peer Gynt was Norwegian? cool...

  • hairs rising...

  • simplement magnifique!!!!

    

  • I cried

  • I grew up with this music...I'm moving to Norway just to help you protect it from retards!

  • @mishshoe bless you ! :)

  • @mishshoe Thank you!

  • How unbeareble and painfull, but also suitable, this melody about what happend

    in Norway 12 day's ago.

    and still we have a politic person in the dutch parlement who is speaking out the words,,,,,,,,what in Oslo became the ice-cold thuth. Really rejecteble thoughts !!!

  • years ago i was on a holiday in norway with my parents and it was the year of grieg. they had museums and exhibitions, and also played concerts of his music. i went to one of those concerts and it was awesome. when you hear his music live, played as it was meant to be, it is much stronger than on youtube or on cd, and really something you wont forget. grieg was a truly great compositor.

  • I would laugh if this was top of itunes XD

  • Kan iemand een nederlanse vertaling van deze tekst geven.

    Bij voorbaat dank.

  • very moody, truly nordic. you are not getting rossini to write something like this.

  • I want this played in my funeral. maybe someday this year. :(

  • @thomasjen1 It's so sad to hear you say that Thomas. You're only 23 yo.

  • @rusolly yes its sad, but i cant do anything about it. :..( but i really need someone to talk to. maybe u or someone else want? please! i feel so lonely :(

  • @thomasjen1 Sure, if I can help you I really want to do that!

  • @thomasjen1 -life is too precious to be spent crying.Get involved with others who motivate you..Activity is deterrant to dispondance.

  • @vartandify its not that i dont want to live. but the doctors have told me that i only can live about 10-12 months more. :(

  • @vartandify -Sorry to hear about your case.May Allmighty God grant you health.Prayer and meditation help some,but also friends and activity will dissipate your sorrow.I dont know where you live-and whats your religion is.You must be christian-i surmize.Take a trip to The Holy land,and i hope it will make a difference in your life.Like to hear from you.

  • @thomasjen1 If only a year remains, why spent it on music like this. Do you not have friends, someone you can talk with, someone other than a person you just met on the internet. This is my mail adress drvanroy@telenet.be , talk to me if you feel like it. And stay alive while you can.

  • @drvanroy the poor human being is in pain and has so little time and you want to be selfish and keep him alive when that is his choice? People can be so conceited sometimes; let him enjoy life how he sees fit...Sometimes there is a solace in knowing how you are going to end your life. Perhaps he doesn't want whatever is conflicting him to be the cause of death. In that instance, he wants control. Let him be.

  • @thomasjen1 If only a year remains, why spent it on music like this. Do you not have friends, someone you can talk with, someone other than a person you just met on the internet. This is my mail adress drvanroy@telenet.be , talk to me if you feel like it. And stay alive while you can. Nobody deserves to be lonely.

  • This is what makes me so national romantic about my own country. I'm proud of my scandinavian herritage and more people should value our old treasures and beautiful nature.

  • I'm so glad i'm an european. We got fashion from France, music from Germany, litterature from UK, Ferrari and really good shoes from Italy, beautiful landscapes in Norway and so on and on..

  • I praise and thank all who posted the music of Grieg..... it is so wonderful to hear this now.

  • The most beautyful song i know of, of all sorts of music.

    The original DOOM

  • this isss sooo sad but one of my favoutite classical music in alll time but i must point out tht the person u made this spelt aase's name worng they spelt it ase but her name is aase

  • @ihavecomplaint Actually, the way spelt in the video is correct. Åse is the traditional Norwegian way to spell it, but since we lack the letter Å in the english alphabet, we use Aa instead.

  • @WastedBearPes, I'd be delighted to come.

  • Prachtig beladen stuk. Werd gespeeld tijdens de uitvaart van mijn vader, tijdens het binnenkomen in de aula. Puur emotie.

  • My school aural exam was on this...can't stop listening to this!

  • ok so i was practicing this song and my mom came out of nowhere and said "can you play this song at my funeral?" (and she's only 35)

  • @ultimateanimenerd Is her name by any chance Aase?

  • @NightwatchRebel

    lol nowhere close to that

  • @ultimateanimenerd Practicing on what?

  • @capttheo1

    violin and cello (not at the same time of course)

  • @ultimateanimenerd good for you.I wish I could play violin and cello 

  • @khpunkrock

    thanks :D and can you play any instrument?

    its all about form when playing. If you got good form then you automatically sound better

  • @ultimateanimenerd I play guitar but I'm an amateur :)

  • @khpunkrock

    im an amateur too but tht never stops me from rockin ;)

  • @ultimateanimenerd She made you when she was 16 :O

  • @uratoko

    haha no :)

  • @ultimateanimenerd my mom asked me the same the other day :S

  • @alfacobra1

    aww its her way of saying tht you play the song beautifully

  • @ultimateanimenerd hahahahahh

  • @ultimateanimenerd Soo, you mom got you when she was 15?

  • @sietek

    no im actually adopted

  • @ultimateanimenerd Incidentally, Aase was the mother of Peer Gynt himself

  • @chrismearscomposer

    :O i always thought Aase was the father

  • @ultimateanimenerd I've studied it and I'm fairly sure it's the mother. I suppose I could be wrong.

  • @chrismearscomposer

    hmmm idk ur probably right

  • Check my Vid out - this song playing on my Music System

  • Well... The most awesome Period of Music. Grieg, Wagner, Tchaikowsky, ...

  • I love this, really LOVE

  • Does anyone know if this music was used in the season 6 finale of House just before him and Cuddy kissed? I just wondered where I'd heard this before.

  • @magicbeanz6 Accoding to Wikipedia, it was used in Fitna, although I wasn't paying attention to the music.

    It also has similarities to Lilium, the opening to the anime Elfen Leid.

  • @magicbeanz6 It's been used and probably will be used in many films and shows. And there should be no wonder why ;)

  • Griegs music is fantastic! Vigelands sculptures are amazing and I like Edward Munchs paintings too. BUT TOGETHER THIS DIDN'T FIT AT ALL!!!! THEY DESTROIED EACH OTHER!!!!!!!!

  • music of grieg + pics of vigiland park = the complete awesomeness!

  • The funny fact is.. The faroes viking metl band Týr made a cover of his solveigs song.. loved that song, then i saw the real version which was really amazing now i listen to this and i'm quite speechless about it.

  • The music is perfect. Absolutely lovely.

    But the artwork is making me sick. Art is supposed to depict some form of reality. Are those pictures really somebody's version of reality??

  • @amazieng

    that's the point, to depict reality in a different, not the way we al see it. A photograph will always depict reality more precise than any piece of art

  • @Villykickboxer Then clearly, some artists are living in hell. 2:40 is particularly disturbing, and 1:35 is somebody who lives all alone with no connection to reality or others.....

    Sorry, but sometimes this new age of art just doesn't live up to the purpose of truly beautiful art.

  • @amazieng You have a point, certainly, cultural value of some pieces is quite arguable, especially exhbitions in Museums of Modern Art. I doubt very much those are art. I can't say for sure, whether they are living in hell or anythere else, but it's quite spectacular to see the way they think, especially when they can depict that in a good manner. But you're 100% right, some artists have a mess in their heads (drugs, insanity, attitude problems, alcohol etc)

  • @amazieng Art isn't supposed to anything

  • @klypen Really? Nothing? Art has no purpose?

  • deadmou5 - clockwork

    a very fine electo version of this song no shit

  • this my favorite version of the song, and ive heard lots :)

  • If someone wants the norwegian word for this song, it is "vakkert" (beautiful). A word for what you get when listening to this is "orgasme" (orgasm).

  • Whoa edward grieg has a youtube channel!

  • So powerful.

  • I want a 720p version. Still trying to find this in a FLAC format. Very rich and moving piece!

  • How can one NOT loike this piece? These people aren't humans.

  • To actively dislike this is to be out of touch with one's soul

    Of all the pieces from PEER GYNT this one reaches a spot like no other.

    Diolch! :0)

  • I feel my heart aching when I hear this.

    It makes me feel wonerable and small, and I want to go back to the time of Edvard Grieg. I would like to be a fly on the wall observing Grieg while he was writing this masterpiece in the late hours of the night.

    How on earth could Grieg compose something that never will die?

  • such a sad song

  • An amazing composer, who was himself manacle depressive. Who's music show all emotions and if listening to it, touches every string of emphatic feeling. Amazing artist and human being!

  • @DXBMarcel I believe it would be "Whose" rather than who's. -Trenton Johnson, Grammar Police

  • ive tried griegs old piano =)

    I happen to live in norway and i know someone who owns one of griegs old pianos. Its quite amazing

  • @kabelfjernsyn you lucky son of a btch!!!!!i hope one day i do so

  • @niksuper3

    well u should be jealous of my rich ass company owning friend. hes the guy who owns it

  • @snowmister2 Okay first off, calm the fuck down, it's a comment. Secondly, exagerating things does not induce dramatic input, and should always be avoided, I mean you can barley hear some parts. And lastly, dynamic should be performed as written. I've performed this exact arrangment and the dynamics here are exagerated. So fuck off bitches, you ain't shit.

  • @AreNoonlyTV chill out mate

  • 12 people are heartless creatures, pity on them..

  • I love every piece that he composed. I hear a lot of composers from his time during my history class but he sticks out above the rest for my opinion.

  • No, now we will speak together

    about loose and solids

    and forget the difficult and the askew

    and everything that is painful and burdensome

    Are you thirsty? Shall I fetch you something to drink?

    Can you stretch? The bed is short

    Let me see. Yes, I think it is the bed that I lay in as a boy

    Can you recall, often you sat at my bedpost

    and tucked me in

    and sang song and hymn

  • glory to Norway!

  • Composition-wise, the dynamics written are outstanding, but in the piece presented here, I believe they are a bit exagerated.

  • @AreNoonlyTV No shit? why shouldn't this be? Peer Gynt's mother died, why shouldn't the music be exaggerated?

  • Comment removed

  • The opening melody sounds almost exactly like Sakura, Sakura, a Japanese folk song.

  • @Bluehawk2008 Are you serious? :D

  • @radioheadfan993

    About them sounding alike? Yes. I'm not saying Grieg ripped it off or anything, I just thought it was odd.

  • No, now we will talk; but only of little things, and forget what's gone wrongly and badly and all that is hurting and soar. Are you thirsty? Would you like me to get you a drink? Can you stretch? The bed is short. Let me look,- yes, isn't it so It's the bed I layed in as a boy! Can you remember how often at night you spoke by my bedside, and tucked me in, and sang both "Stev" and "Lokk"? Doesn't quite do it justice...
  • @synnoea Thank you, kindly!

  • Good people of Norway, could somebody translate these opening words. It would benefit all who like Grieg's music!

  • hail the Scandinavians and their super talent :)

  • Doesnt this song appear in a movie? Ive heard the song in The Simpsons but also in a movie!?

  • @Efantil i,m sure it does. but not quite sure what movie

  • @rlu006 Ahh...my mistake. I didn´t get it from a movie or kind of. Its in Fitna the movie by Gert Wilders ;)

  • Sin palabras.. este es mi movimiento favorito...

  • Edvard Grieg is my favourite composer. His music is as well as good as Mozart's, but it's not as favmous as Mozart's music.

  • its... Perfect.

    i cant say anything else.

    Let the emotions by listening speak the rest.

  • we played the whole peer gynt it was aweasome!!

  • LOL! I got a surprise when I should access pressed this song and so that the first piece of text was old danish!!! (if anyone should be in doubt I am from Denmark) so that was very fun....

  • @Zshilll ikke SÅ overraskende da danmark styrte norge, og påtvang dansk skriftspråk ;]

  • *deep sighs- Goddess, that was beautiful.

  • I'm going to live in Norway.. for sure

  • Me too..some day some day!!!!

  • I love Edvard Grieg. One of the greatest composers of all time, glory to Scandinavia as well!

  • yes!!! i totally agree!!!

  • (directly translated) No, now we want to talk together. But only about loose and solid, and forget the intricate and aslant (?) and everything that is badly and hvasst (donno the english word sry) Are you tirsty? Shall I bring you a drink? Kan you strech? It's the end of the bed Let me see; - Yes,, I mean not the ed, I lay so good. Kan you remember, about the night you sat on my bed and tuck me in Fellen, and sang both Stev and Lokk? It don't make any more sence in norwegian (I think)
  • @ambulansekim Thank you, kindly!

  • @Ondal2 Ehem...

    Norway..

  • @Ondal2 glory to NORWAY, rest of scandinavia has nothing to do with Grieg ;p

  • It's nice JimmyHayers. ;)

    I love this piece of classic ..

  • @stevenkonasr definitely, love Mozart as well.

  • @stevenkonasr Sophistication isn't everything. Don't get me wrong Mozart is possibly my favourite, but the moods and imagery evoked by Griegs music are just as strong. I love the way he can tell a story with his music.

  • could someone please tell me the english interpretation of the text? thank you

  • Norway is beast. I wish I lived there

  • dont u mean best!;D

  • no, I men beast. meaning it is awesome, kick ass, etc.

  • yep:D absolut! The best!

  • SO tenderly beautiful!!!

  • I kinda feel that Mozart is the "Powerstick" for the soi-disant intellectuals...

    That being said, you should check out Grieg's arrangement for a second piano on Mozart's fantasia 475 (there's one video uploaded played by Richter and Leonskaja) and even though I love Mozart's original piece I prefer Grieg's arrangement.

    Then again, it's all a matter of taste not of righteousness

  • Grieg(the composer), Vigeland( the sculpture) and Munch(the painter) are all norwegian.

  • this song was used in "Fitna" by Geert Wilders...

    horrible film but truth...

  • doe eerst zelf onderzoek vorodat je zegt dat hij gelijk heeft met zijns chandelijke fitna!!!

  • sorry, but I cant understand you, Im german. Please write english...

  • Someone can't tell the difference between German and Dutch

  • yes no one can tell the similarities

    Dutch: Goede dag

    German: Guten tag

    (English: Good day

    Swedish: God dag)

  • @1nown What?! omg :S

  • I cried many manly tears.

  • More power to ya man. *searches for a hanky*

  • @1nown ME TO!!!!

  • @1nown Me too, friend, me too... :))

  • natuurlijk heb jij wel uitvoerig onderzoek gedaan naar alle hoeken van de islam.... De waarheid staat wel in fitna, maar er wordt maar 1 kant belicht van de waarheid. Er is zoveel meer dan alleen fitna.

  • @seelenschlingerxx truth for a blind man you little conformist.

  • Are you sure he didn't just mean it was truth that the music was used in the film? He said it was a horrible film which would suggest he doesn't agree with Mr Wilders and therefore was undeserving of your vitriol?

  • pff why always associate it with certain cultures and movies.. when this was made for the music only..

  • @Nordic7979 It was made to go alongside the play Peery Gynt.

  • Asses Death by Edward Grieg from the work Perr Gynt, I cry when I listen to it, more because I will never will see those snowing landscapes and europeans mountains.

  • Why wont u see them anymore?

  • Not anymore, actually I have never see them, long history pal long history, about might and might not.

  • hehe life is what u make of it, if u wanna see these beautifull european mountains u can, one way or another...

  • Edvard Grieg/ Death of Aase?!

  • hehe this is the theme song of Fitna...

  • True.

  • Seriously????

  • I could not have put it any better myself  mr KennyBones ,Phenomonal !

  • Grieg had the amazing gift of being able to portait feelings and emotions like nobody else. And listening to it now, still nobody have managed to portrait the rawness of pure emotions like Grieg did. So pure and yet so simple. Just listen to the song "last spring", that song has got every human emotion in it, and that's quite the achievement :)

  • @MrKennyBones Have you stopped to think about that statement? Really? You mean to say that no other Late-Romantic Era composer potrayed emotions at the same or higher level as Grieg? I really love Grieg, but let us not forget Tchaikovsky, Wagner, Mahler, Bruckner, Dvorak, Debussy, Verdi, Puccini, Rachmaninoff, Korsakov, and Sibelius. All of them roughly from that period of time.

  • Ralph Vaughan Williams: Tallis Fantasia

  • Yes, It has that same foreboding darkness as the Thomas Tallis theme done later by the Brit and I cannot remember his name or the the theme title now.

  • god, love it..

    but why the hell is 'the scream' in this vid??

    ^^

  • well, i belive it is because - well - i don't know :P but it's a nice paint, so i don't see your problem, kartoffelbrot15...

  • i was just wondering..

    (:
