Description
Bring myth to life with Valkyrie, a bold and imaginative Grade 1 work by Matt Neufeld. Inspired by Norse legend, the piece uses tense harmonies, rhythmic drive, and dramatic effects to tell the story of the Valkyries—warrior spirits who carry fallen heroes to Valhalla. Whispered Icelandic text, battle cries, and rustling paper to mimic flapping wings create a vivid soundscape that’s as theatrical as it is musical. With a clever nod to Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries, this piece is sure to capture young performers’ imaginations and thrill audiences alike
