Trolls in Nordic art, music and literature
Edvard Grieg, A Norwegian composer wrote several pieces about Trolls. Two examples are ‘In the Hall of the Mountain King,’ and ‘March Of The Trolls.’ Grieg wrote: "The peculiar in life was what made me wild and mad...dwarf power and untamed wildness...audacious and bizarre fantasy." Grieg's former home, Troldhaugen ("The Troll's Hill"), is now a museum.


Johan Halvorsen wrote ‘The Princess and the Giant Troll,’ ‘The Trolls enter the Blue Mountain,’ and ‘Dance of the Little Trolls.’

Geirr Tveitt wrote such musical pieces as ‘Troll-Tuned Hardanger Fiddle,’ and ‘The Boy With The Troll-Treasure.’
