The second movement of Beowulf Fantasy musically portrays the section of the Beowulf poem where Beowulf arrives in Denmark to free King Hrothgar's land from the evil menace of Grendel. The piece is divided into five distinct sections: the majestic Beowulf Arrives In Denmark, the festive Feast At Heorot, mysterious Night-time, the combative Grendel Strikes!, and triumphant Beowulf Victorious!
In the poem, Beowulf comes to aid King Hrothgar against Grendel. They hold a feast in Hrothgar's mead hall, Heorot (the Hart). Beowulf and his men stay the night in the mead hall. Grendel attacks them during the night, there is a mighty struggle between him and Beowulf, and Beowulf finally rips off Grendel's arm. Grendel flees from Heorot and later dies in the swamp.
This piece can serve as a stand-alone selection or may be performed in sequence with Beowulf Fantasy Mvt.I.
