Piano overlay at 01:02, reflections and shadows dancing, strings leading, building rhythm into offbeats, 3/4 over 4/4, life unending.

Military too, preparing for war, determined to face the enemy.

Mysterious, a riddle, historical, clandestine. Basic classical saxophone joined by echoing trumpets, skulking in the Venetian hallways. Baroque cellos, 00:27 trumpets replaced with violin strings, moody, then alto woodwinds, investigative and winding, messages under lamplight, spies in the cathedral. 01:08 royal trumpets, gothic and foreboding, woodwinds rejoining with a fluttering melody.

Cello riff in a minor key, rhythmic, pulsing violins, steady and determined. 00:36, woodwind joining, the road at night, a forest full of eyes, pressing through the snow, 01:10 a pause with only strings, then the woodwind rejoins, with subtle distant timpani, deep double bass echoes.

Racing piano, offbeat, Egyptian mode, rhythmic. 00:39 staccato violin, 00:43 staccato flute, dancing across the ice. 01:00 woodwinds to reinforce the flute, the enemy is in sight. 01:16 drop into quick 1/2 time, joined by sinister horn blasts, the fight begins. 01:35 rhythmic French horns, and syncopated trombone, a running battle in the mist.

Action, military, determined, classical. Single horn speeding up, joined by an oboe in syncopation, clarinets that wind through major and minor. 00:33 a pause then an augmented brass section that offers an earnest dissonance, 00:55 horns 3/4 time, all the woodwinds line up behind them. 01:12 drop into military snare and a single horn blast then immediately rejoined with strings coming forwards, horns and brass calling over the top. Tuba and French horns blast deep on the offbeat, military pipers join. Snare increases in velocity and crescendo.

Mystical, yearning, Celtic, medieval. Bouncing Celtic harp, joined by slow yearning violin, minor progression harp bass notes. 01:00 pause and return with slower pace, strolling. The woodland clearing, light through the trees. 01:55 return to bouncing rhythm.

Excited woodwinds, quick march time, major pentatonic. 00:12 -30 joined by a court orchestra, cello, strings, bassoons, oboes. 00:25 clarinet comes forward, then recedes 00:30.
