Although Grieg's early songs were written in German because he was studying in Germany, all of the rest of his ouvre is in Norwegian which is mostly different from the Danish.

That poses something of a problem for me in that "Vaaren" is written in Norwegian, or in one of its dialects, whereas the others are actually written in Danish. I take it you feel, then, that it is more appropriate to sing the songs written in Danish in Norwegian?
(I speak Danish and Swedish, but not Norwegian, although I've made a pass at it in Vaaren -- perhaps I shld limit my repertory for the songs written in Danish).
best,
Deb.
