Blegnet, segnet (Ved en ung hustrus båre), Op.39 No.5

Grieg: Ved en ung hustrus båre, text O.P Monrad.
While Grieg's orchestral works, songs and piano music have conquered the world, Grieg’s choral music has to a certain extent remained a national concern. Actually he wrote quite a number of choral pieces, reflecting the fact that choral singing was particularly important in Norway at the time – principally as a contribution to developing a sense of national identity.
