'Morning Mood' is a composition belonging to Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt, Op. 23, written in 1875 as incidental music to Henrik Ibsen's play of the same name, and was also included as the first of four movements in Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, Op. 46.
The piece depicts the rising of the sun during Act IV, Scene 4, of Ibsen's play, which finds the eponymous hero stranded in the Moroccan desert after his companions took his yacht and abandoned him there while he slept.
As the Peer Gynt suites take their pieces out of the original context of the play, Morning Mood is not widely known in its original setting.
