The immense popularity of Edvard Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suites and the Piano Concerto have overshadowed some of his other fine accomplishments for orchestra. The Symphonic Dances were written in 1896-98 during Grieg’s mature period. They deserve a more prominent place in the standard repertoire; in them Grieg makes excellent use of dance rhythms,  folk tunes, expressive lyricism and a fine ear for effective orchestration. 

Symphonic Dance #1 is a Grade 4, well-suited to the mature high school or collegiate band. Duration 7′.
