Description
"Desperta Ferro!," or "Awake the iron!" was the battle cry of Medieval Spanish soldiers called the Almogavars. In the dim light of dawn, as they prepared for battle, these fierce soldiers would beat their swords on rocks shouting this phrase.
The sparks that flew from the rocks in the eerie light of dawn, together with the soldier's call to arms, would give any enemy pause. Awake the Iron, with its insistent unisons, energetic rhythms, modal themes, and powerful percussive writing, mirrors the ferocious intensity of the medieval battlefield. This mature sounding, yet approachable work, is sure to be a favorite of both the musicians and audience. (3:30) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

The trumpet and trombone measure 114 to the end just gets me going, has a nice beat to it. 114 to the end sounds like a good ending in a movie, or when one team beats a powerful team, but the whole song sounds like a good ending in a movie.

Me and my classmates always joked around, saying that this was villain music. Just because it is, have you heard the ending?
