Program Notes
A symphonic tour de force, this rhapsody is built on three Scandinavian folk songs. Viking-influenced melodies are weaved into a seamless setting that brings out all the rich flavor and history of the Scandinavian people. At times bold and aggressive, at other times lush and beautiful, it employs all the instrumental colors of the modern concert band to create a stunning work for more advanced ensembles.
