February's Song - "Strong" (Patreon)

We are pleased to announce the upcoming release of a series of Viking themed songs taken from an original CDP story, "Chieftain," beginning with a piece called “Strong.” 

Release date: 29 February, 2020. Are you ready to join the saga?

“My Chieftain Fa∂ir said to me, ‘My son, you must be strong.’” Bjorn Erikson, the chieftain’s
son, leads his fellow Vikings on a raid of Northern Scotland. Born of the ice and fire of Iceland,
these men are single-purposed and strong, their blood as deep and hot as the lava, their flesh
as cold and hard as the ice. They come to a monastery, where they meet their adversary: the
Christian monk. Bjorn is to learn of a different kind of strength…this is the beginning of his tale.
“Strong” is an excerpt from an original CDP story “Chieftain”. The song is written akin to a
Broadway musical style, though with a cinematic, serious, driving tone throughout as it shifts
from character to character.

We are excited to hear your thoughts!

More about the story that inspired the music:


“Chieftain” is the tale of the people in an Icelandic village. As mentioned above, the Vikings
raid Scotland and a monk Fr. Edvard, in a desperate attempt to save his life, is mistakenly taken
by the Vikings onto their boat. He is brought back with them to Iceland, where he unwontedly
changes the heart of the young chieftain Bjorn, whose father has died in a treacherous attack of
the neighboring chieftain Ulf. Bjorn’s friends take sides either for or against him, as he
struggles to keep peace in his own village, and peace with his neighboring village. It tells his
story as he falls in love, is challenged by his best friend Erling, is haunted by his good friend
Brigit, and as he learns that his young brother Ansgar and his young friend Kaia have much to
teach him through their simple gaze of the hidden helps we receive in our lives.

Chieftain: a tale of strength, a tale of weakness; a tale of battle, a tale of conversion. A tale of
Vikings.
