[Song Discussion] Final Struggle and Triumph

[Darkling Nocturnal]

(Originally written by Hawkbit)

Besides, Fiver’s Vision, this is the most emotional instrumental cue in the album. A rapid pace provided by brass and string instruments indicate that something very important is occurring on screen and is vital to the outcome of the film. In this case, Bigwig and Woundwort are literally being torn to pieces! The second half of the track revolves around the defeat of the Efrafan army as a mad farm dog bites and tears up any rabbit on the down. Emotionally, it feels like a victory for the Watership rabbits, and the solo trumpet and snare drum will lead you along the way.
