The Swords of Stavanger

维京部落的统一对生活在挪威西南部地区的人们意义重大。斯塔万格国际学校距离一个名为哈夫斯峡湾（Hafrsfjord）的小峡湾仅一公里，那里建有一座名为 "石中剑"（Swords in Stone）的纪念碑，由三把插在海岸露头上的青铜大剑组成。这座纪念碑是为了纪念一场战役，这场战役将挪威的维京部落统一在一个国王哈拉尔德-哈法格雷（Harald Hårfagre）或白发哈拉尔德（Harald the Fairhaired）的统治之下。根据传说，872 年，哈拉尔德邀请其他部落首领参加会议，然后让他的船只切断了他们的退路，他们进行了战斗，直到其他首领服从哈拉尔德的统治。哈拉尔德成为挪威第一位国王。斯塔万格之剑》旨在为维京人的英雄主义和征服传奇提供音乐背景。本曲目可在 SmartMusic 中下载"

原文简介:
The unification of the Viking tribes is of great significance to the people living in the southwest region of Norway. The International School of Stavanger lies only one kilometer from a small fjord called Hafrsfjord where a monument, "Swords in Stone," was constructed consisting of three large bronze swords stuck in an outcropping on the shore. The monument commemorates a battle which unified the Viking tribes of Norway under one king, Harald Hårfagre, or Harald the Fairhaired. According to legend, in 872 Harald invited the other tribal leaders to a meeting, then had his boats cut off their retreat and they battled until the other leaders submitted to Harald's rule. Harald then became the first king of Norway. The Swords of Stavanger seeks to provide a musical backdrop to this legend of Viking heroism and conquest. This title is available in SmartMusic.
