It's from Edvard Grieg's "Peer Gynt", and is a favorite of mine.

And the question is? It was written by Grieg, either a Swedish or Norweigan classical composer. Believe it or not, in the mid-1960's at the height of the British Invasion, a group called Sounds Incorporated had a hit record with it. It was a bigger hit in England than it was here.

It's been redone by numerous artist from classical to metal, but the most popular version is by Savatage circa 1986 appx. Who by the way makes up a 1/2 of the now Trans Siberian Orchestra.

Do you mean what is Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt- that's the name of the ballet that's In the Hall of the Mountain king is taken from.

Sounds like something from the songs the Lakemen were singing in The Hobbit. Or that the dwarves were singing in the beginning of the Hobbit.
