Wedding Day at Troldhaugen

Wedding Day at Troldhaugen (Norwegian: Bryllupsdag på Troldhaugen), opus 65, number 6, is one of Edvard Grieg's wonderful Lyric Pieces, a collection of sixty-six short pieces for solo piano. They were published in ten volumes, from 1867 to 1901 . The collection includes several of his best known pieces, such as Wedding Day At Troldhaugen, To Spring (Til våren), March of the Trolls (Trolltog), and Butterfly (Sommerfugl).

Edvard Grieg (1843 – 1907) was a Norwegian composer and pianist. He is renowned as a nationalist composer, drawing inspiration from Norwegian folk-music. He wrote, "I am sure my music has the taste of codfish in it". (Frommer's Norway: 3rd edition, ISBN 978-0-470-10057-8, page 274, 2007.) Grieg's compositions have been used extensively in media, music education, and popular music.

Among his best known works are the Piano Concerto in A Minor, the Peer Gynt Suites (which include Morning Mood and In the Hall of the Mountain King), and the Lyric Pieces. He originally wrote his popular Holberg Suite for the piano, and later arranged it for string orchestra. Grieg wrote many songs, in which he set lyrics by poets Heinrich Heine, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Henrik Ibsen, Hans Christian Andersen, Rudyard Kipling, and others.
