De norske fjelde Op. 61, No. 4 by Edvard Grieg — Lyrics
1.
I fald du følger mig over heien,
så skal jeg vise dig sæterveien,
så skal vi fare i fjeldet ind,
hvor solen gylder den hvide tind.
6.
Da skal vi sidde ved Glitretinden,
hvor skodden viger så småt for vinden;
da skal det hiske i hjertet dit:
„Å nei, å nei! å, er dette mit?“
2.
Vi har så lidet af agerflekker,
og mere er det som skogen dækker;
men fjeldet dækker nok aller mesti nord og sørog især i vest.

About De norske fjelde Op. 61, No. 4
Edvard Grieg's De norske fjelde, Op. 61, No. 4, is a powerful evocation of the Norwegian landscape, presented here for SATB choir. Part of a larger song cycle, this setting of Norwegian text draws inspiration from the composer's homeland. The lyrics paint vivid pictures of mountain paths, snowy peaks, and the expansive, wild beauty of the northern terrain. The music reflects this imagery, capturing the grandeur and solitude of the mountains. The text speaks of journeys through the highlands, seeking out remote places where the sun gilds the white summits, and experiencing the profound emotional impact of such natural splendor. It contrasts cultivated land with the dominance of forests and, most importantly, the majestic presence of the mountains themselves, referencing iconic locations like Rondane, Dovre, and Snehætta.
