Battle Suite - Full Score

Battle Suite is a very programmatic work that musically portrays a battle at a mythical medieval castle. The story begins before the battle itself as the first section depicts the watchtower guards as they keep watch, looking for any indication of danger. The next section, Ursa Major, refers to the evening preceding the attack when the stars are shining and Ursa Major, the constellation that includes the big dipper, shines above in the night skies. The suspense then builds in the third section as we hear the ominous sounds of the approaching enemy.
