    En ualmindelig kort smagsprøve på gammel musik og så i sort/hvid, så det passer sammen .Fint......

    Yingwie Malmsteen: shreds classical
    Guitarist: hold my beer.

    It would be good to know what is happening at this point in the opera.

      Brief synopsis added to the description above!:
      This trumpet tune heralds Arthur and the Britons preparing to storm the castle, in Act 5 of the opera.
      Arthur and the Britons are getting ready for their assault when Oswald (King of Kent, a Saxon and a heathen) emerges to challenges Arthur, his rival, in a duel for the hand of Emmeline (daughter of Conon, King of Cornwall and Tributary to King Arthur) and the crown. They fight, and Arthur disarms Oswald. Arthur spares Oswald, and insists that he and his Saxons return to Germany (Britons "brook no Foreign Power/ To Lord it in a Land, Sacred to Freedom.")
      Arthur is reunited with Emmeline and Purcell's King Arthur then concludes with a celebratory masque.
