J?rmungandr

Description

Doyle, James D.
Jörmungandr is based on Norse mythology (and also a tribute to one of my favorite metal bands, Amon Amarth) and covers four distinct scenes — Thor’s initial discovery and fight against the serpent Jörmungandr, Jörmungandr sleeping in the depths of the ocean, his escape, and finally the events of Ragnarok in which Jörmungandr dies, but also brings Thor down with him. The music is programmed for a traditional string orchestra and a drum set player with access to a double bass drum pedal. The parts are challenging, but are definitely achievable by the high school musician.
