Topic: Grieg: Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, In the Hall of the Mountain King

Grieg: Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, "In the Hall of the Mountain King"

”In The Hall of The Mountain King” is from the same play as ”Morning mood” (which I uploded with Organteq). To the music has been made a fairy tale. Peer watches when the trolls dance and the troll King sits on his throne, the dance gets faster and the trolls discover the boy Peer. He runs towards the exit and manages to get out before the opening door collapses, (the triple forte fff fortississmo, very very loud, at the end). My pupils wanted to draw trolls which were then shown with the overhead projector, when listening, well yes OH, it was tn the 80’s 

Amazing how it's the same simple ”melody” over and over again (16-18 times) but the increasing tempo make it so good, it’s of course better with orchestra, maybe one of the greatest piece of music ever composed. Well there are many of them, greatest pieces

I attach ”Morning Mood” too, if someone missed it.

Thank you again, Will, for listening and nice comments

The Death of Åse - yes, After escaping the trolls in the mountain king's hall, Peer decided to travel around the world and get rich. But wanted to say goodbye to his mother Ase, who was dying. He came just before she died. The music Ases death, belongs to the famous collection of mournful music that is usually played at celebrities' funerals, on TV, as an expression of sorrow when someone dies.

Here a little bit of it, I’m working on it with kind of own arrangement from a piano version, is it worth to go on with it……?

Thank you for playing one of those "tunes that get in my head and from where I can't say." 

It is worth continuing and developing.
