Song 4: Brave Wolfe

This song takes place in 1759 in Quebec, Canada. Genreal James Wolfe, so brave and valiant, was slain in the in the offensive aginst the French which would result in a British victory. I feel that the author of this song is sympathetic towards Wolfe and attempted to portray him as an unfortunate casualty of war. The 'war' between the two instruments symbolizes to two sides of the argument. Though this song contains no lyrics, it is fairly easy to attain a sense of courage and conflict from the tune. For some reason, this song drew me more to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly towards the beginning, but slowly revewaled itself to be more civil warlike later on. I greatly enjoyed it though this type of music is not my preferred stlye.
