You are walking down into the heart of a mountain. In it, you are told, is the one you've come to see. Welcome to the hall...of the Mountain King. (Please...Don't mention the Nightmare Before Christmas.)
@@Darkwolf_1017 there are two types of chemistry teachers. Those who have blown themselves up. And those who haven't. With taht guy it was every other week or so.
This piece was composed for the play Peer Gynt. During this scene, the titular character falls in love with the Troll King's daughter, but this angers the King, who begins to angrily chase him around his hall. The play specifically has lyrics for the loud part of the song, in which the other trolls sing about the various ways they want Peer Gynt to be tortured, as punishment for seducing the King's daughter. There is a LOT of dread in the song, because not only is the main character running from a powerful villain, but he's facing certain death if he gets caught.
Wasn't Peer Gynt kind of a wild fool of a person? In the tale he's based on, he's a roguish, handsome person who never settles down despite being super well-traveled and wealthy because of his adventuring. In this one, he is portrayed as a total fool to the audience, but from his perspective he is exactly like the gentleman explorer of the original tale. So he's a brat of a child, always stealing from people in the village, and no one likes his company. When he's older, he sees a beautiful woman at her own wedding, and decides he's in love with her. He practically abducts her from her wedding and he's ousted from the village in return. In the wilderness he comes across the Hall of the Mountain King, where he may finally be welcomed by some people despite their ostracization by society, and he is even allowed to marry the king's daughter who was actually reasonably attractive as long as he became a troll like the people in the kingdom. Except like git he is, he decides he loves the girl from his village too much to do this, so he steals the king's treasures and attempts to escape in the night. He eventually gets caught and accepts the king's proposal finally at the end. I think that's how it goes. Peer Gynt is really the Florida man of his own life with no regard for others. He justifies all of his actions by basically thinking "the world is my oyster" because he thinks it was made for him. Then when he finally gets a good opportunity given by a generous king, he not only rejects it but goes on to steal from him because he doesn't realize that this is the best deal he could ever receive for the terrible things he's done his whole life.
Played this at my mom's funeral. She was a die-hard fan. No better way to send her off, the old lady knew how to throw a party. And her funeral was certainly such. Love you Ma, miss you every day.
That is what it is, it is meant to sound like you are sneaking into the mountain king's hall and then he spots you and you have to flee while being chased by a giant troll.
Fun Fact: the composer came up with this idea after a dream he had where he met and fell in love the mountain king's daughter, but that angered the king which caused him to chase the dreamer around his halls. The music is the sound of the king in his dreams steadily gaining on him as the dreamer runs faster and faster
In my younger years, I would wake up every morning to the spectacular and thrilling sound of "In the Hall of the Mountain King". It was as if the music instantly put me in an adventurous mood, ready to tackle the day with full force.
@@yee4618 Oh what was that level... Crash Dash? Crash Crush? Whatever. Yeah that music for that stage bops but does give off the vibe of “You better run for your fuckin life or you gon die.”
My elementary school teacher would play this in class one day and told us the story behind how and why it was written. The crescendo would always scare the crap out of me!
✨The creepypastas are probably thinking that:✨ ✨ Ticci Toby: Hey Masky 2020 is here what can possibly go wrong eh?✨ ✨Masky: *Immediately loses his brain cells **1:41* ✨
Omg so true 😂. Happened to me once and I was in my room about to go to sleep until I see something flying in my room and landed right next to my bed against the wall😱. So I slept in another room for the night. We killed it in the end 😅
I overslept and was late to school and I had a test first lesson and I played this on the last 2 minutes before arriving to school since the piece matches the mood
It's intriguing how a song that at the time would have felt serious now feels comedic. Really shows how the context of instruments really changes as time goes on.
When you're lying in bed at the end of the day relaxing and then remember that you have three projects, five essays, and two research papers due tomorrow.

Ninga ella I first heard it on a Mac. Set it to "Cellos" in the speech synthesizer, and it plays the first 26 notes of it, one per syllable. Disney made it into "Bad Guy Song" and a friend of mine seemed to think it was original to Disney.
This song is literally the definition of procrastination, being relaxed in the beginning and in a total state of panic towards the end to somehow reach the deadline
Actually it's a true panic attack in 3 minutes since you don't listen, you EXPECT the conclusion to happen.. Maybe the first time might be a "passive" listening as if it's a music, but once you've heard it and you know it you don't "listen" you literally break and EXPECT the conclusion
@@shittygamer5425 Depends, all the old kingdoms of the Dwarves were under mountain ranges, such as the Iron Hills, the Blue Mountains, The Misty Mountains, etc, except for the new kingdom of Erebor which is under only a single mountain, the Lonely Mountain, named because it is one of a few mountains in middle-earth not attached to a chain. The King under the Mountain, would then have to be Thráin, or Dáin II Ironfoot. As it is unknown if its the original king, or the current king. (I can't remember who takes over after Dáin's death in the war against Mordor. I haven't read the annals in a while.)
+George Washington True. Trump doesn't have that problem. He tells yuge lies right off the bat, then either denies he said what he said, blames someone else, or clearly clarifies that yes, he really did mean it even after it has been strongly disproven. And apparently, being "caught" doesn't hurt him much, since his supporters just agree with everything he says anyway.
Beethoven's Ode to Joy, Chopin's Winter Wind, et cetera, et cetera. But yes, this piece has a lot of fun with its dynamic growth into the famous tempo change :)
Fun fact: this was used as a musical story when a human was trapped in the kings prison and have an idea of trying to escape and when the human was outside one of the gaurds turned into stone and the human survived
