Product Description

Grieg did not write any music for the organ, but some of his short compositions for piano in his multi-opus series of Lyric Pieces can be successfully adapted for performance on the pipe organ. I have arranged several of them, employing 3-stave scores, along with indications for what manuals to play on and suggestions for registration changes. My arrangements reveal, I think, that Grieg's piano pieces take on new dimensions with the organ's variety of timbres and wide dynamic range. They all would serve well on a recital program and some could be used in church services as well. I have provided a full-length recording to aid the prospective buyer in the decision-making process. I encourage you to search the Sheet Music Plus or the Sheet Music Direct website for other arrangements for organ in my Grieg Transcription Series. You may also be interested in my many hymn tune arrangements, some for organ and others for piano.
