A passion work written by the Norwegian composer, Edvard Grieg, “Death of Åse” is the second piece in Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, Op. 46, heard in Act III of Peer Gynt.
In my rendition of the piece, I’ve replaced all parts with distorted, feedback electric guitars in combination with MIDI guitar controller voiced as cello and bass wavetable synthesizers.
The original MuseScore transcription I worked from was by the brilliant Dario Gadosa. I still have a lot of work planned for this, including a more nuanced percussion line and adding an uptempo recapitulation in the tradition of what are now called Jazz Funerals.
