How to Listen to Great Music (1) Grieg
This series is dedicated to giving beginners and aficionados alike the tools to understand and enjoy great music--any great music. in order to do that, we need to listen, and in particular to identify those qualities unique to music itself. We begin our journey with a basic comparison between two versions of Edvard Grieg's popular showstopper, "In the Hall of the Mountain King"--the original with voices, and the more familiar version (from the Peer Gynt Suite No. 1) without them. Which is more effective, more communicative, and why? Let's listen and find out. Musical Examples courtesy of Naxos Records
