This composition paints a picture of brave Vikings sailing over the open seas, invading foreign lands and terrorising the locals. The Vikings were well known for their cruelty and brutality, but equally for their strong sense of honour and their pride. It is these last characteristics above all that are depicted in this work.After a short introduction the lofty main theme is heard, accompanied by sombre drum sounds. A brief idyllic passage follows that evokes a beautiful landscape. Gradually, a heroic melody is revealed, leading to a great tutti, in which the rousing main theme is heard once more. Return of the Vikings closes with the sound of heroic brass and festivechords.
