Based on the German fairy tale made popular by the Brothers Grimm in 1812, this piece is a musical depiction of the short story "Rumpelstiltskin." In addition to the original music in this work, the composer tips his musical hat with excerpts from Grieg's "Morning Mood," Wagner's "Bridal Chorus," and Brahms' "Lullaby." A delightful setting with several style and tempo changes that will capture the imagination of one and all! (2:45)
