Edvard Grieg remains the most important Norwegian composer of the later 19th century, a period of growing national consciousness. In the late 1800s, Mr. Grieg met and befriended Henrik Ibsen, and supplied incidental music to Ibsen's play Peer Gynt. The premiere was performed to critical acclaim and eventually led to Grieg's scoring of Peer Gynt into two suites. While "In the Hall of the Mountain King" is more familiar to most, "The Death of Aase" has been used in many film and television productions
Ralph Vaughan Williams transcribed melodies from the vast oral tradition of English folk music and incorporated folk tunes into his own orchestral and choral pieces. He wrote Five English Folk Songs in 1913 as a choral piece with five movements. The Five Mystical Songs were written between 1906 and 1911, as settings of four poems (the first, "Easter," divided into two parts) by the 17th-century Welsh-born English poet and Anglican priest George Herbert, from his 1633 collection The Temple: Sacred Poems.
