There were only about forty people left in the great hall and were ready to either dance along with the music or just listen to it. The musicians had violins, cellos, harps, and lutes to play along with whatever song the conductor has in mind. It always fits the mood of how everyone is feeling after being part of the feast and seeing how it plays out. It was not the type of dance that most people do onstage and try to impress others around them. These were the romantic type of dances, the ones where a man and woman hold each other's hands and move around with the music.
Harald watches on as a good chunk of those who were left in the palace were getting ready for a lovely time. Truly, Harald and Julius had their moments with their wives but now seemed like an excellent opportunity to be close to the ones they love. Lagertha and Brant sat together and witnessed the musicians preparing themselves to play a song. The conductor opens up a music sheet for all the violinists and the bards to play as they also turn to the exact page as the conductor. Then, a woman with a large red dress with long red hair walked next to the musicians and closed her eyes to sing along with the music.
And so, the conductor raises his hands, and the music plays as the men and women are looking directly at each other and holding each other's hands. Lagertha and Brant watched on as the people were slowly dancing along with an exquisite piece of music playing in the background. The lady who was with the bards walked closer to the conductor and sang:
He shall feed his flock like
A shepherd
And He shall gather
The lambs with his arm
With his arm
He shall feed his flock like
A shepherd
And He shall gather
The lambs with his arm
With his arm
And carry them in his bosom
And gently lead those
That are with young
And gently lead those
And gently lead those
That are with young
Come unto Him,
All ye that labor
Come unto Him, ye
That are heavy laden
And He will give you rest
Come unto Him,
All ye that labor
Come unto Him, ye
That are heavy laden
And He will give you rest
Take his yoke upon you
And learn of Him
For He is meek
And lowly of heart
And ye shall find rest
And ye shall find rest
Unto your souls
