Blood of the Vikings

BBC 2001 - series producer Paul Bradshaw

Raw, guttural, explosive music for this dramatic look at the Vikings. The five-part series presented by Julian Richards examines the cultural, political and genetic effect of the Viking invasions. David set Old Norse, Saxon and liturgical Latin texts in this Contemporary Classical score which is performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra and the Joyful Company of Singers.
