In the Hall of the Mountain King for flute quintet

Arranged by Fran Griffin

Here is an arrangement for five flutes of Grieg's very well known movement from his Peer Gynt suite, In the Hall of the Mountain King.

It is suitable for young players who are enjoy ensemble playing. Flute 4 is slightly easier, but the other parts are of equal difficulty, and the work is shared around so that everyone gets to play the tune and also be the goblins and trolls. Nobody has to play the quaver passages alone, and nobody has to play the low Ds alone, so this arrangement is a good confidence builder.

It is a good introduction to playing in an ensemble whilst maintaining a constant accelerando without getting out of control.
