Some of these melodies were originally written as a kind of a trailer to a fairy tale ballet for children, which I called The Fire Troll. Composed for the annual show of the Ballet School of the National Theater in Iceland in 1974, more were added as incidental music too a play, shown at the Reykjavik Theater the same year. Of the 20 melodies I then had, six were chosen to form this collection, that can be played on almost any instrument.
