Song of the Day: In the Hall of the Mountain King by Edvard Grieg

Or, alternatively: The most epicness you will ever experience in two and half minutes.

Most people have probably heard of this iconic theme before. For example, it was in the award winning Social Network and also served as the basis for the famous Inspector Gadget theme. However, the original song in all its orchestral glory is definitely worth a listen as well! This rendition by the Halle Orchestra is especially great as it features a full choir alongside the marvelous instrumentation, adding a completely new layer of drama to the piece.

For those searching for something more rock-ish, there’s also a fabulous metal cover of the same song by Apocalyptica featuring some intense cello work.

Hi! I'm Victoria, your friendly neighborhood high school student. Sometimes, I'll be found hanging out at my crib, Western Canada High School. I'm an avid reader of both classic literature and sci-fi (or even better, classic sci-fi literature) and a fan of the arts in general. I also may or may not have a weakness for old school RPGs.
