You are a warrior, wielding a bloodied sword and a scarred flag, marching resolutely towards your enemy. You will fight, and you will win. We hit you with epic orchestral moments from World of Warcraft and a suite from epic video games. There’s also a good dose of Beethoven for you purists out there.
Ludwig van Beethoven - Overture to Egmont
Based on the heroic pursuits of a Dutch nobleman (the 16th Century’s own McDreamy), Beethoven delivers a powerful and dramatic piece that reflected his own political discontent with the then Emperor of the Universe, Napoleon.
Arr. Jerry Brubaker - World of Warcraft
Wrath of the Lich King
Lament of the Highborne
Lion’s Pride
The orchestra plays from the icy shelf of Northrend – there’s no need to bring your headset, though, this is W.O.W. in real time.
Arr. Ralph Ford - Video Games Live Suite
Your classic fantasy adventure in real time. Majestic brass melodies take you from Civilisation IV, to Bounty Hunter and Kingdom Hearts.
INTERVAL
Time to drink some wine! :)
Camille Saint-Saëns - Marche Héroïque
From the forgotten French master comes a majestic ode to victorious warriors.
Adam Khachaturian - Adagio from Spartacus Suite No.2
Queue the armies and the blood and the gore, 300 style. You’re in the middle of an epic battle in the wastes of a far-flung continent.
Michael Daugherty - Red Cape Tango
This death chant tango provides the backing to Doomsday’s destruction of Superman.
