About "In the Hall of the Mountain King":
This short, two and a half minute song was composed for a fantasy play written by Henrik Ibsen called "Peer Gynt." The play is about the main character, Peer Gynt, and his life’s journey. Ibsen had asked Grieg to compose incidental music for his play about the "anti-hero" to illustrate specific scenes. This particular piece highlights Gynt sneaking into the mountain troll king's hall and then shifts as Gynt insults the troll king's daughter, ending with Gynt's dangerous escape attempt. The song begins with a set of bassoons in the key of B minor as Gynt takes the stage. As the key shifts to F-sharp major, you can almost hear the troll king bounding on the stage, chasing after Gynt.
