| Description: He was a legendary leader from Mongolia, viewed by many as a hero of epic proportions. Born in the vast open plains, Temüjin - or better known by his title Genghis Khan - united nomadic tribes to form the mighty Mongol Empire. In this E minor piece for string orchestra, heroic themes are first heard in violins over steady, marching staccato in the low strings. Then a fierce melody emerges in cello and bass, rising with triumph like Temüjin rose from humble beginnings to become a mighty conqueror. Dramatic dynamics and divisi chords add powerful musical moments to portray indomitable spirit and prowess in battle. |
