I suggest you get a copy of Bradley Ellingboe's FORTY FIVE SONGS OF EDVARD
GRIEG - the volume with the blue type on the cover - this is the volume
that has the IPA of all the songs. It's published by Leyerle
Publications.

I also suggest you find a coach to help you with the pronunciation. I
don't think it's ever a good idea to sing solely from IPA, because one's
person's way of hearing/representing a certain sound may be slightly
different than another's, particularly with Scandinavian languages (and
Slavic languages).
