Arrangements
I am gradually adding arrangements I have made to www.sheetmusicplus.com, and I will list them here.
GRIEG Arietta from Lyric Pieces Op 12 (No 1)
arranged for chamber orchestra (minimum: 2 flutes, oboe, 2 clarinets, guitar or harp and strings; optional: oboe II, 2 bassoons, 2 horns timpani and percussion) First published for piano in 1867, Arietta is the first of 66 Lyric pieces in ten books. The melancholy tune is very short, but Grieg thought enough of it to use it again in 1901 for the last Lyric Piece Efterklang (Remembrances).

Lady Macbeth — who called the spirits, 'Come, you spirits ... unsex me here, / And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full / Of direst cruelty!' (1.5.40-43) — got the chamberlains drunk so that her husband could kill the king.
