Edvard Grieg

To give you a sense of how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers as lesson plans and by parents to supplement school curriculum or for homeschooling, we have set out below a portion of the Learning Guide to Song of Norway providing background information on the life of Edvard Grieg.

Grieg's music was brought to the U.S. by Marta Sandal, a Norwegian singer who worked with Grieg. Ms. Sandal later settled in North Dakota with her husband.

Franz Liszt (1811 - 1886) was a world renowned Hungarian- born composer. Liszt lived in Paris for many years and Grieg's meeting with him was an important event in Grieg's life. It gave Grieg encouragement and public acceptance in a difficult period.
