"The Classic Battle" Sam Spence. I believe this was used to great effect in the Super Bowl XIII highlight film, with Dallas driving and facing certain defeat. A Steeler defender going heels-over-head in slo-mo. If this music hadn't had a sports connection, many non-sports people here would be raving about it. But then associations are everything. As an experiment, I just played the youtube clip for Holly, seated across the room, and asked her what type of film she thought the piece may have been written for. She threw out the terms "pre-1800s," "battle," "Eastern European," "clans clashing," and "war," among others, which is basically the same picture that the music painted in my imagination as well (even though I knew going in that it was from an NFL film). I would even go as far as to say it reminded me a bit of Poledouris' FLESH + BLOOD. Incidentally, neither of us had ever heard the piece before, and we both enjoyed it very much.
