IN THE HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN KING (Midway Concert Band) - Grieg, Edvard - Conley, Lloyd

This exciting study in accelerando and crescendo demands playing in a clearly articulated style with passion and intensity. From the pianissimo of the opening measures to the triple forte of the final note, an ever-increasing surge of sound is necessary. Suggested metronome markings are given at key intervals throughout, and ample cues are provided to strengthen vital lines played by bassoons (2), oboes (2), and F horns (4). Duration ca. 2:30.
