Percy Grainger
THE MAIDEN AND THE FROG for 2 pianos
Bardic Edition BDE1377
"Jomfruen og froen" (The maiden and the frog) arranged for 2 pianos, four hands by Percy Aldridge Grainger, is a setting of a Danish folk--song gathered with a phonograph in Jutland by Evald Tang Kristensen and myself on August 22, 1922 from the singing of Andreas Knudsen of Vejlby, Jutland. It relates the well-known story of a poor maiden who is courted by a frog who is eventually revealed as an handsome prince who had been transformed into a frog by a magician. The maiden breaks the spell by consenting to make the frog her bedfellow for two nights after which they marry and live happily ever after. Percy Aldridge Grainger, 1925
