Line Rider set to ‘In the Hall of the Mountain King’ will 100% brighten your day 23 February 2018, 10:46 | Updated: 23 February 2018, 16:33 Line Rider - In the Hall of the Mountain King Credit: Doodle Chaos. This guy sketched out a special version of Line Rider by hand, and perfectly synchronised it to Grieg’s ‘In the Hall of the Mountain King’ – because he wants to make us all happy. Edvard Grieg composed ‘In the Hall of the Mountain King’ for the Norwegian play Peer Gynt in the late 19th century. But he probably couldn’t have guessed that, 140 years on, someone would set his orchestral masterpiece to the computer game Line Rider. The internet game was created around 10 years ago, and it revolves around the concept of drawing lines with your mouse, so that ‘Bosh’ (a little boy on a sledge) can ride on them. If it were possible, In the Hall of the Mountain King is even more gripping with the help of this very awesome visual aid. For more of Doodle Chaos’ videos, visit his YouTube channel.

The Wedding March (drunk version) is the funniest thing you could hear on your... 6 October 2017, 17:43 | Updated: 14 May 2018, 12:57 The Wedding March (drunk version) Jonathan Mui's inebriated reworking of Mendelssohn's Wedding March. Take the one tune everyone hears on their wedding day, add about six pints of strong continental lager and this is what happens. Mendelssohn’s famous wedding march is what every happy couple hopes to hear on the biggest day of their lives together. Well, that is, unless your organist has had a bit to drink. Love wedding music? Huge props to Jonathan Mui, who painstakingly came up with this accurate (we assume) drunken version of Mendelssohn's iconic Wedding March. And if you liked drunk Mendelssohn, you might also enjoy Mendelssohn-accompanied-by-adorable-kittens: Esther Abrami plays Mendelssohn This violinist played Mendelssohn to a litter of sleepy newborn kittens.
What if Chopin had written ‘Happy Birthday’? 27 September 2018, 17:42 Happy Birthday in the style of Chopin Credit: Edoardo Brotto This pianist has created an improvisation on ‘Happy Birthday’, in the style of Frédéric Chopin – and it’s brilliantly accurate. If you know and love Chopin’s music for solo piano, you’ll recognise that signature style: heavy rubato and independent finger technique, with improvisation at the heart. And this Chopin-style reimagining of ‘Happy Birthday’ totally nails the familiar feel of the romantic composer’s music. Beginning in B flat minor, the improvisation gains a flat and moves into E flat minor when the simple ‘Happy Birthday’ tune emerges. Genius pianist plays ‘Happy Birthday’ in the style of Beethoven, Chopin, Brahms, Bach AND Mozart The pianist also incorporates octave marks, rallentando and accelerando markings, and a brilliantly characterful passage in 3/2 time, in which the right-hand part is made up solely of triplets.
