It would be interesting to collect an anthology of "fairy music." The Grieg number is music for a dance of trolls, of course. And then there's Die Erlkönig by Schubert. (Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XP5RP6OEJI) about a child-hunting elf-king.
You have to get to Mendelssohn's music for A Midsummer Night's Dream (here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuXF5CY4pKs&list=PL6swnss9F7SG5NbAkhFIdWa3woWgCOIko) before you get to, erm, "typical" fairy music.
It makes a good ring tone too.
