The Legend of Grieg
And so,
we begin our performance!
Here,
between the black crags
and the white fjords
before you shall walk
the composer Grieg
and his friend, a cheerful, kind doctor,
old lady Death,
a beautiful princess,
mischievous trolls,
and their king.
Hold it!
I wish to wed this fairy-tale princess.
King,
but what of your vows?
Relax, dear princess.
Of course, there will be music at the wedding.
We were promised it by the man himself, Edvard Grieg!
Get everything ready for the wedding.
Let everything be
half black, like the groom,
and half white, like the bride.
Gallop forth, my black steed.
And that's that.
No, ma'am.
We shall live yet...
Neighbour! Ha-ha!
We've got some fight left in us yet!
Check.
Grieg...
something, I think, has happened to him.
I should go, too.
Grieg's heart is tired.
I will come to him as a faithful caregiver.
After all, death comes to every man.
Hey, where are you?
Trolls!
What happened to Grieg?
Hurry to him along the mountain paths!
Don't come back without music!
The pulse is weakening.
How merciless old age is...
How weak is the human heart.
No,
you can play no more, maestro.
No, no! I won't allow it, maestro!
Death stands at your doorstep.
Ah! Here is our humble nurse.
Peace and quiet.
Peace and quiet,
and no disturbances.
And no music at all, of course!
There, that's good.
I will be back soon.
Where have you come from,
honorable doctor?
Grieg is unwell.
I am hurrying to get medicine.
Peace and quiet.
And no disturbances.
And no music at all, of course.
Don't you dare!
That's the music of the maestro!
Peace, peace and quiet!
And no disturbances.
And no music at all... of course!
And of course... no... wedding!
Neighbour, nurse, what happened?
It's over.
How?!
Music, neighbour. It came,
and awoke the heart.
Ah!
So it is you, my eternal foe.
What's to be done?
Grieg is a man.
Remember:
he is an artist.
Ha!
Everyone, everyone come to the wedding
in the king's casle!
All are invited!
Everyone, come to the wedding!
Hey!
Everyone, drink to Grieg's health!
He has gifted us music for the wedding!
We shall give him the gift
of eternal spring!
Now, then,
do you understood what happened?
This man is an artist,
and is immortal!
The End
