"In the Hall of the Mountain King" - Edvard Grieg composed by Henrik Ibsen's drama "Peer Gynt".

"Peer Gynt" - is the story of the adventures of a restless Norwegian guy, traveling without a specific purpose and facing various obstacles in his path, what tests his strength rather than the morally unstable nature. The whole story from beginning to end is "seasoned" with a Norwegian mythological flavor , trolls, the unexplored spirits of the Mountain King.

The melody "In the Hall of the Mountain King" reflects the frenetic spirit of Norway, which the composer liked to show in their works.

In the play, the composition sounds great when it comes to Mountain King throne in the cave with his trolls

Due to this, as well as its sound, "In the Hall of the Mountain King" is associated with the trolls, and with s deep mysticism and the mysterious atmosphere in general.

"In the Hall of the Mountain King" begins with the main theme played on a bassoon and double bass. The melody sounds first in lowercase, rising half an octave, but returns to the previous tone. Subject begins slowly, with each repetition more accelerated, and in end breaks in rapid prestissimo. according to the scene, Peer Gynt seduced the daughter of the King of the trolls.

During sound composition, the entourage of the king demands the punishment of the treacherous man:

Slagt ham! Kristenmands son har daret Dovregubbens veneste mo! Slagt ham! Slagt ham! Kill him! This son of the Christian people seduced the beautiful daughter of the King of the Mountain! Kill him! Kill him!

About me

Greenline Front is the movement of national - conscious people, who reject the system of modern anthropocentric values and it's procreations, such as capitalism and monotheistic religions. We think, that ecological crisis and mass annihilation of animals - the direct effect of anthropocentric views. We see the alternative in ecological way of thinking, that means comprehension of the fact Earth's being not just a lifeless piece of stone, but the Mother of every creature alive, mother of humanity, as well. The endless chasing of material profit, excess consumption of resources, careless way of thinking about how human's activities affect on the Nature - this is what we call unacceptable. We fight for freedom for every animal, enslaved by people, because we think, that Nature's interests must prevail over human's. Greenline Front is not a political organization or party, we have no leader and official membership.
