URTEXT EDITION 

This is an urtext/critical/scholarly/scientific edition (or a simple re-engraving). Any commentary or critical apparatus, if protected by copyright, should not be included in the scan(s) available here.

In Canada, new editions/re-engravings of public domain works (when not including new original material) should be in the public domain due to failing to meet the threshold of originality. In most European Union countries, these editions (except new original material) are generally protected for no more than 25 years from publication (30 years in Poland), and only if the edition is published after the copyrights of the original creator(s) have expired. In the United States, copyright can only apply to new creative work, and the re-engraving of a public domain piece (not including new additions of creative material) should not qualify for a new copyright, despite copyright claims (which properly would only apply to new material).

You may need to check the publication date and details of the work's first publication in order to determine the work's copyright status, especially for the United States, as the copyright on the original work may not have expired.

Navigation etc.

The text for this song comes from the Haugtussa poem cycle by Arne Garborg. Grieg chose 8 of the poems to include in his op. 67 'Haugtussa'. He also set others from Garborg's Haugtussa cycle, but didn't include them in the op.67 set. This is one of the songs he kept separate. The EG 152 work number applies to all of the separate ones, but there is no evidence Grieg intended them to be performed together. Some are incomplete.

For the set of songs under the Haugtussa title, see: Haugtussa, op.67 (Grieg, Edvard).
