Edvard Grieg Composer Study *from FAITH blog

I wanted to post about the composer we are studying this term for school but I don't want to steal the information that Amy has gathered so I will just link it here. You can check out her blog and find quite a few links that I hope you find helpful. If you are doing composer study, or you aren't even in school!, (that's alright, you might like the music anyway :) there are links to free online information as well as links to buying the music. Personally, I cannot afford to purchase the music (although I would LOVE to!) so the free links are great!

Here at our house, we do not 'study' the composer extensively. Rather we listen to the music, listen (or read) to what people have to say about the composer, find a picture of them and think about it while we are listening to their work. In time, perhaps we may do activities such as a biography notebook page or try to match pieces to composers but since we are just getting exposed to this subject in our school, we go slow and not too in depth. We are having a great time listening to Grieg's work. We really like Norwegian Dance and we plan a story to go with it. My ds has a hero on horseback riding to save a maiden. Dd pretty much goes along with ds ;) Of course we also love In the Hall of the Mountain King. You can watch a video on FAITH blogspot.
