"The Vikings Are Told of Ragnar's Death" by Trevor Morris | Extended Version (audio only)

When I first heard this theme composed by Trevor Morris for Vikings, I knew I not only wanted to do a mock-up of it, but I also wanted to create an extended orchestration of this theme, which is called "The Vikings Are Told of Ragnar's Death" and was used in Vikings Season 3 Episode 10.
The first few minutes of this track are my recreation of Trevor Morris' original cue. Then I transition into my own extended orchestration. I'll possibly do a video showing how I created this track, but for now I thought it would be fun to assemble some scenes from the Vikings to go with this music.
To create this track, I've made extensive use of Orchestral Tools' Metropolis Ark II, supplemented with Berlin Brass, 8Dio's Adagietto Strings and Spitfire Audio's Albion V Tundra. The choirs in Ark II are absolutely gorgeous and really shine in this track. Another standout patch was the Berlin Brass trumpet vibrato, which really shines at the end of the orchestration.

this theme and this character are so iconic. ragnar is a fictional character but he insipired me in so many ways.

[@MrDigitalman01]

He's actually not fictional. He was a real person, look up his history.

[@GhostsOfTheAngelcynn]

The story is true, names are real and the events in the programme happened as historical fact. However there is a certain element of poetic creativity in the series.

[@kamilcopak8598]

Yeah but Ragnar was killer and all vikings as well.Don’t forget pls

[@shanevrins8470]

In my opinion, still to this day, this is the most exceptionally brilliant performance by an actor. To draw sooo many into feeling the raw emotion and connection to the character of "King Ragnar" is simply superb. It was a performance that made Travis my personal all-time favorite actor. In my opinion, making King Ragnar the greatest character to ever grace the small screen.

[@rockthompson3476]

I must tell the story, I emailed Trevor about this music as it was featured in Season when Lagertha left him. It's the same music in that scene . I wanted to know the title he said he would get back to me because it would spoil season ahead. Sure enough he remember and emailed me after the episode aired. I am forever grateful . The music is amazing and brings such emotion

Una cultura inimaginable para muchos que ven a Ragnar y se creen que ya saben lo que significa ser vikingo rezo a los dioses por mis antepasados que tanto legado nis han dejado a los que estamos aquí y vivimos con sus enseñanzas.
