A Geatish warrior called Beowulf helps neighbouring Danish King Hrothgar to rid his meadhall of a monster called Grendel.

These pieces were published on the occasion of Spartan's 25th anniversary, and are inspired by incidental music written in 1984, for a production performed by Islip Primary School, Oxfordshire.
