After I finished completing Mongolian Empress Calls, I still wanted to create more music with a middle eastern flavor. Contrary to my usual proclivity for sad emotional music, I was in the mood to march to battle. It was time to start composing some war music, music for the march to battle.
I entitled this new piece Holy Land Wars so that it would have a broad enough reach while also conveying the region of the world and stylistic timbre a listener could expect to hear. The song capture the aggressive, determined, vehement preparation of battle while also capturing musical flavors of the Middle East in the ethnic operatic style of Uyanga Bold chanting and motivating the soldiers to battle. Listeners will notice the heavy use of percussion especially the timpani and Chinese tom-toms. A female choir supports the female soloist and as the song climaxes, a male choir is added to take the song to its cathartic end.
