music on the tv programme on BBC Joanna Lumley search for the northern lights

[Milvus]

Peer Gynt Suite - Edvard Grieg

[Stewpot69]

That�s fine Milvus but if you saw the programme I am looking to find one piece of music from the programme ~ it�s the piece playing just after she�s seen the lights and is up in a plane looking out of the window ~ that�s the piece of music I am looking for, any ideas???????

Forgot to mention the programme can still be viewed via iPlayer

Can you tell us roughly at what time during the programme you hear it? It'd save time whilst watching it on the iPlayer.

The bit of music you're after ... how does it go ?

I think it's the bit after about 53 mins just after she says "when i do die I'll die happy"
Don't know what the music is, though.

I'm not sure about that piece Stewpot. I watched it again. Most of the music is Peer Gynt but there are other Grieg compositions in there. Nocturne is the piano piece for instance. The music directly before the plane shot is Solveig's Song from Peer Gynt and the music in the plane seems to carry the same theme but I'm not sure about it.

It's Last Spring from Grieg's Elegiac Melodies (opus 34)
