Musical Adaptations
In 1982, English progressive rock band Marillion wrote and recorded a 17-minute progressive opus entitled "Grendel" that was based on the book. A version of the song shortened by a little under three minutes was released as a B-side to the single "Market Square Heroes" (now out of print). The song is currently available on the two-disc version of the "Script for a Jester's Tear" album.
Seattle, WA indie rock band Sunny Day Real Estate has a song called "Grendel" that was based on the book. The song appears on the album, Diary.

Famous quotes containing the word musical:
“If we cannot sing of faith and triumph, we will sing our despair. We will be that kind of bird. There are day owls, and there are night owls, and each is beautiful and even musical while about its business.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
