Varangians by Henry Twinn

Varangians is a short musical journey inspired by the legendary Norsemen who travelled east - mercenaries, traders, and wanderers who found themselves in the heart of Byzantium.

These tunes trace imagined fragments of their world: campfires lit on cold riverbanks, ancient runes carved in high places, the quiet honour of shield-bearing in a foreign empire. There are songs of home and exile, of mountains and marketplaces, of distant shores seen from the deck of a longship.
