If you've ever heard a piece of music that instantly made you think of a peaceful sunrise, there's a good chance it was "Morning" by the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg.

"Morning" is one of the most famous pieces by the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg (1843-1907). It is part of his incidental music for Henrik Ibsen's play Peer Gynt, first performed in 1876. The music is played during Act IV, Scene 1, as the sun rises over the desert in North Africa.
