This tumultuous composition tells the legend of the town of Zwolle in the Netherlands. In the waters surrounding Zwolle lived a dragon. When it appeared it threatened to destroy the town with it fiery breath if a human sacrifice was not offered. St Michael confronted the dragon in a battle without equal. As a knight armed with a double edged sword the archangel battled against the dragon and decapitated it. Thus the city was saved. To represent the archangel the composer has chosen the hymn tune Laudate Dominum . The dragon is symbolised by a series of menacing chords.

In diesem Werk greift Jacob de Haan eine alte Sage über einen Drachen, der einst nahe der holländischen Stadt Zwolle lebte und von den Bewohnern immer wieder Menschenopfer forderte, ehe er vom Erzengel Michael getötet wurde. Für diese Komposition wurde die Melodie der Hymne Laudate Dominum als zentrales musikalisches Thema des Erzengels gewählt. Der Drache wird durch eine Reihe Akkorde, die bedrohliche Bilder heraufbeschwören, wiedergegeben. Ein spannendes Werk mit religiösem Hintergrund, das aber vielseitig eingesetzt werden kann.
