The 12 Valkyries are figures from the Nordic mythology - they collect the slain heroes from the battlefield and bring them to "Valhalla", the "holy hall".

This piece goes out to Isabella Charlotta Maria Zita Beneking, my little Valkyrie. Isabella, one of my identical-twin daughters, died in 2006, 2 days before her birth.
This tragedy is the main reason for the deep melancholy in my works.
Thank you, dear Paul (https://soundcloud.com/paul-de-clerck), for playing it for her!
I am sure she will listen to it from "Valhalla"....

The whole series is devoted to Isabella, you can find the scores booklet here: http://www.beneking.com/valkyries
There are some further recordings of this series coming soon.
