The work has no storyline narrative, but each movement is self-explanatory. The opening 'Chasing' is a canon made up of short motifs as in a chase towards its conclusion. The second, 'Running' is a funky semiquaver race, whilst the third, 'Singing' is made up of melodic fragments and small melodies played in cantabile style.

The ending is inspired by an old Viking song 'Sigurd Favnesbane' (Sigurd the Dragons Slayer) to bring the work to a rousing conclusion.
