Daníel Bjarnason (born 26 February 1979) is a composer and conductor from Iceland.

A musical statement not to be missed. Processions is an entirely different beast, forming the bulk of the album and perhaps the album’s most powerful moments. The first movement, aptly titled In Medias Res, or into the middle things, begins abruptly with a huge bow strike and a glissando on the piano. Immediately, the main piano theme is introduced with dissonant trumpet and horn chords hitting the downbeats for a grandiose effect.
