Moving and poignant, some of the most haunting and beautiful music ever written. Synnøves Song (Synnøves Sang) by Kjerulf and Solveig's Song by Grieg. Both melodies feature a woman waiting for the return of her lover, and both have Norwegian folk music at their heart.

SAMPLE:

Halfdan Kjerulf was the first composer in Norway to incorporate nationalistic elements into his music, and he heavily influenced the style of Edvard Grieg.
