5 on Friday - Set 170





Travis at Trav's Thoughts invites everyone to lay down a short set of music that takes their fancies for his 5 on Friday meme.

As I keep my head down and work hard on finishing the first round of revisions for the second book in my Dragonsfyre series, here are five pieces of music that could belong to a soundtrack for this story.


1 - Wardruna - Sowelu

This piece is sung in a mix of Norwegian and Old Norse, and features scenes from the History Channel's Vikings.





2 - River of Collections from the Everything is Illuminated soundtrack - composed by Paul Cantelon 





3 - In Trutina from Carmina Burana - composed by Carl Orff






4 -Lento E Largo from Symphony No. 3, Opus 36 - composed by Henryk Gorecki





5 - Mars: Bringer of War from The Planets - composed by Gustav Holst

Travis at Trav's Thoughts invites everyone to lay down a short set of music that takes their fancies for his 5 on Friday meme.

This week's set is inspired by the captain of the guard character from my work-in-progress, which is also my NaNoWriMo project. He made a few brief appearances in Book 1 of my Dragonsfyre series, and takes a more center stage role for Book 2.

2 - Imperial March - composed by John Williams - London Symphony Orchestra conducted by John Williams




 
3 -The Battle - composed by Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard - Lyndhurst Orchestra conducted by Gavin Greenaway


 
 
4 - Spartacus ballet - composed by Aram Khachaturian

 
5 - Lento - Symphony of Sorrowful Songs - composed by Henryk Gorecki - Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
