Morning Mood

Encyclopedia : M : MO : MOR : Morning Mood

"Morning Mood" (Norwegian: Morgenstemning) is a composition belonging to Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt suite. Used often in television commercials and motion pictures, the piece depicts the rising of the sun. Next to In the Hall of the Mountain King, Morning Mood is Grieg's most known work.

Contrary to popular belief, it does not depict a sunrise over the Norwegian fjords, but is in fact set in Morocco.
