about

The great Prince leads his men into battle, with his father.

The second movement opens firmly in Bb Major, as a great army
prepares for war, and the Prince prepares for his first command. Clad in the finest armour and mounted on a trained stallion, the Prince believes himself ready to fight, and to win. Alas for our Prince, his father has determined that he will lead the sneak attack against the enemy. As they creep under the cover of an early morning mist, the Prince hums the lullaby his old nurse sang. Unfortunately, the attack fails as enemy scouts see them. With a change in tonality comes a retreat, called by the Prince as he realises that this is one battle he will not win. The army gather their wounded, trusting the dead to the care of their foes.
As the shattered and broken mourn the merely dead, the horn section presents a minor setting of the hymn Abide With Me. After a time of grieving, and a time for wounds to heal, a memorial service is held in the capital. Ignoring the details, the recently dead are presented as heroes, fit to inspire the next generation. The brightness of Bb Major, reflecting the stirring opening, falls away gently to reintroduce the opening tonality. Word spreads swiftly through the capital that their Lord lies sickly in his rooms, old wounds slowly becoming his death.
