Program Notes
Fate of the Gods, a programmatic work for symphonic band, was inspired by tales of Nordic mythology. The piece tells the story of Ragnarok, also known as the Twilight of the Gods. An incredible war between the forces of good and evil is fought, bringing about the end of the cosmos. After the destruction, a new and idyllic world will arise and this new earth will be filled only with joy and abundance.
- Program Note by composer
In this edition, Matt Conaway has carefully adapted Steven’s outstanding work for younger groups, so they too can experience this important legend from Norse mythology.
