About this item
Immerse yourself in the popular tournaments of the Middle Ages, when knights would compete against each other in tests of will, strength, and agility in the name of honor. The dark opening sets the stage for the entry of the knights, who ride into the stadium with a noble theme over pulsating lower strings. As the tournament begins, the music becomes aggressive and driving, drawing everyone into the action. The final ceremony crowns our champion and brings the music to a magnificent and regal finale!
