Determined and heroic orchestral music for battle preparation scenes, marching to war, getting ready to fight, to train, to compete. Big warlike cinematic drums, a strong brass section and dramatic staccato strings create a gripping soundtrack, that is intense, emotional and full of suspense. A proud and majestic piece that builds up to a big crescendo in the end. Perfect for trailers, sports, action scenes and the mood before a fight/preparing for battle.
