Morning Mood

Edvard Grieg

For tenor sax and piano

Written in C major, range C4 to B5

A slow sunrise, the light growing until the whole sky glows. It comes from Grieg’s music for Ibsen’s play Peer Gynt. Most people picture a Norwegian fjord, but in the play the sun rises over the desert in Morocco.

Also as a duet for two tubas
