Grieg's In the Hall of the Mountain King from Peer Gynt starts as a creeping, mysterious stalk and builds to a frenzied climax — one of the most dramatic crescendos in the orchestral repertoire. On a steel tongue drum the chromatic theme takes on an eerie resonance, each note ringing into the next like footsteps in a stone cave. Great fun to play and instantly recognizable.
How to play In the Hall of the Mountain King (Grieg) on a tongue drum
The numbers above are the standard tongue-drum number notation. Each digit is a note of the C Major scale, counting up from the lowest tongue. A dot above a number raises it one octave; a dot below lowers it. The small teal letters show the matching key in the Tongue Drum Online player.
Start slowly, one phrase at a time. Let each note ring out fully before striking the next — the long decay is the whole character of the instrument. This is a easy arrangement and a simplified, single-instrument version of In the Hall of the Mountain King (Grieg).
