First published: unknown. Completeness: unknown.Grieg’s National Song makes a compact, ceremonial statement through widely spaced opening notes, weighty chords, and strong contrasts of volume. The introduction sets isolated accented notes against short, firm chordal answers in the lower register. A quieter chordal tune follows, its dotted rhythm and connected notes becoming more forceful as the phrase progresses. Broad accented harmonies punctuate the closing phrases, and the repeated main section ends with a full sustained chord. An interesting detail is how low the introduction lies: much of its opening call and answer is written entirely on the bass staff.
