Simple Gifts from the ballet Appalachian Spring, by Aaron Copland. Simple Gifts was originally an American Shaker tune written in the 1840s. It represents the Shaker ideals of simplicity and peace. 

The MP3 file is my original arrangement; I hope you enjoy this improvised version.

Morning from Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, by Edvard Grieg. Edward Grieg (1843-1907) grew up in Norway. He enjoyed playing the piano, but he really liked to make up his own music instead of practicing. As an adult he studied music in Germany, but could not forget his homeland. Almost all of Grieg's music reflects the beauty of his native land, fjords, mountains and traditions of Norway. You've probably heard his work In the Hall of the Mountain King (tune from the Super Sugar Crisp Cereal song).
