In the Hall of the Mountain King

I have a wonderful ‘flash mob’ for you today. This is a fantastic performance of Edvard Grieg’s ‘In the Hall of the Mountain King’ which he originally wrote to accompany Ibsen’s play, ‘Peer Gynt’. It’s a wonderful play on the theme of the piece, performing it in a variety of different styles. Be sure to watch/listen to the end to hear the amazing chorus!

Description: four academics in spacesuits reading books in a space colony. Person: "Super academics, hurry, our mining facility on Centauri-12 is being destroyed by an alien species! " Economic Academic: "Good god, that mining facility is worth billions in economic activity, we have to save it right away!" Science Academic: "I've done some experiments and determined the aliens are vulnerable to high concentrations of heat." Engineering Academic: "I've engineered a focused laser weapon based on your research." Philosophy Academic: "I've determined that we have no moral right to kill the aliens!" Science Academic: "What?!" Philosophy Academic: "Well, we are colonizing and invading their home world to enrich ourselves. Actually it seems pretty obvious..." Economics Academic, as all raise their hands: "Who votes to kick super philosopher out of the group?" Philosophy Academic: "Would it help if i explained that a majority vote can still violate the intrinsic rights of a minority?" Engineering Academic: "No. Get out or we will laser cannon your face!"
