Edvard Grieg’s Wedding Day at Troldhaugen is one of several short pieces in his collection of “Lyric Pieces” for solo piano. Composed in 1896, this work was premiered as a memorial to his 25th wedding anniversary with his wife Nina. The piece is simple in form, featuring a march-like opening, a lyrical middle section, and a return to the opening theme. This arrangement was done in order to continue to expand the soprano saxophone repertoire. It features only a few altissimo pitches and is very accessible for an intermediate performer.
