Margrethes vuggesang (Margaret’s Cradle Song), Op.15 No.1

Grieg: Margrethes vuggesang, text Henrik Ibsen.
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.
