Edvard Grieg composed " In the Hall of the Mountain King " in 1875 for Henrik Ibsen’s Peer Gynt play, creating a piece that grows from a quiet, menacing theme in the lower strings to a frantic, loud climax. It illustrates Grieg's vision of a trollish, grotesque scene, often used to depict mounting chaos and intense pursuit in popular culture.
