As classically trained harpists with degrees in Harp Performance from a Conservatory of Music, we have spent a LOT of time playing classical music. We have a passion for rock and metal music, so that is what we most often play and post. However, we thought we would share our arrangement of an immortal song by Norwegian classical composer, Edvard Grieg: “In the Hall of the Mountain King” (I Dovregubbens hall). Grieg is our favorite classical composer… and not just because our heritage is Norwegian. ;) ;) We wanted to include a lot of the flavor of the original orchestral piece, while giving it our own spin. So, we composed our own fun and haunting intro (with some added vocals) before going into the piece. During our classical music days we did quite a lot of experimenting with different ways to partially dampen our strings to create a more pizzicato sound. One method we especially loved was using putty to create a really cool pizzicato-like effect. We decided to bring back this technique by using putty on the bass strings of C’s harp for the whole piece. We also added a bit of rock toward the end of the piece by purposely buzzing some of the vibrating strings to get a grittier feel and mimic the percussion in the orchestra. In the original orchestral piece, Grieg used various instruments in the orchestra to re-invent the theme in ever-changing ways. We had to figure out how to achieve that effect by using just 2 harps (and do it in a way that we can actually perform live). It was also a challenge to get the massive crescendo and increase in intensity that was originally achieved with an entire orchestra, but we think we managed it! We hope you enjoy our eclectic arrangement!
We recorded this arrangement on our new electro-acoustic Concert Grand harps. However, we had to film on our electric lever harps because those were the only harps we had with us on our recent UK tour. Everything you hear in our arrangement is exactly how we can perform it live with our 2 harps and voices: no backtracks, loops or overlays. This is not the most “harp friendly” piece, but we absolutely love how it turned out and we love going where no harps have gone before!
