Personal Quotes One must first be a human being. All true art grows out of that which is distinctively human.

Did I spell the name wrong? I can't find anything!

Grieg Solveig:


Didn't find a damn thing. Put down the beer, pick up the dictionary.
Or maybe it just doesn't exist.

I recognize 2 songs but are not under his name.

interesting music. I recognised the Hall music from Disney the Merlins apprentice I think it was??

There isn't much said on the wiki. Did the guy just make a few tomes in his spare time or something?

makes a nice change from doof doof music.

The Peer Gynt Morning Mood in the third YT vid sounds almost Scottish in the beginning with a bagpipe playing the melody. I've always enjoyed Grieg music. I also enjoy paintings by Edvard Munch. And lately, I've taken notice of Gustav Vigeland, a Norwegian sculptor who has a huge Statue Arrangement in Frogner Park in Oslo, where he displays this monument:


5128






























































This guy lived and worked in the first half of the 20th century. I think he was ahead of his time.

There are some statues there with clear reptilian themes.

And yes, Grieg does have some Scottish heritage from the McGregor Clan which is where the name Grieg come from. They were persecuted i believe.
