The General's Command is a fast paced piece with a majestic theme that illustrates the glorious scene of a general commanding his troops into battle. It originated from an imperial composition from the Tang Dynasty and has been passed down from generation to generation for over a thousand years. There have been many different variations of this piece that have evolved throughout the ages, but featured in every variation is the strict authority of the commander, as well as the intensity and ferocity of war. The song also features a lively and spirited melody in the middle, meant to boost the morale of the soldiers. Finally, the piece speeds up and ends on a triumphant note, signifying the General's victory.
