This Swiss composer (b. 1971) played flugelhorn and principal cornet for a long time with 'Ensemble de cuivres Valaisan' and started composing in 2011. This concertwork consists of three consecutive movements: Battle - Song - Dance.

Battle: alarm is given by bells, the stronghold is attacked by several waves of fighters
Song: like a prayer to the dead fighters which have defended the stronghold gloriously
Dance: after the stronghold's battle, people celebrates the victory by a happy dance.
