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:
“A pregnant woman and her spouse dream of three babies—the perfect four-month-old who rewards them with smiles and musical cooing, the impaired baby, who changes each day, and the mysterious real baby whose presence is beginning to be evident in the motions of the fetus.”
—T. Berry Brazelton (20th century)
