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.
