There is an introductory french overture followed by a fugue. Alice is forced to play croquet with the Queen of Hearts and her servents. They are using live flamingos and hedgehogs! Anyone who is beating the Queen during the game gets their head cut off....

Printemps Tardif

Berceuse - solo viola

Danse des esprits sauvages

Légende No. 1 Pélagique is a more upbeat track. Pelagial means 'of the ocean' which fits well with the larger Norse theme of the album. Many have compared the middle section as something that belongs in a Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack.
From my 3rd album Derelict World (2017, remastered & refined 2020)

Légende no.1, Pélagique

Viking runes are the theme here, with calm folk feel that gradually intensifies as you get further in the music. Ending with a motet closes the song, where 3 of the musical themes get stacked on top of each other for some interesting counterpoint.

Runic Accolade

No need to worry about anything too serious with The Smrik. It's got some pretty hip-hop type rhythms, especially the opening musical idea that threads the whole piece together.
