Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “The Summoning” by Adrian Von Ziegler
The Summoning paints a dark and intense picture of a powerful entity’s summoning of forces. The song begins with the repeated chant of “Come, hear the summoning” as a warning to all who would try to prevent its calling. The song then builds in tempo, becoming more urgent and powerful as the summoned forces draw nearer, signified by the loud drumbeats, soaring horns, and shrieking violin. As the forces reach their destination, the music culminates with a strong repetition of the main theme.
The Summoning is thus about the summoning of powerful forces to achieve a goal, whatever that may be. The power of the entity to bring things to fulfillment is unstoppable and there is a sense of inevitability to its outcome. It is a warning to all who might attempt to resist its call – they will not be able to escape its pull.
