Cue of the Week: “Triumphant Victory”

In the game Empire Earth 2 a player can complete campaigns as various nations. Each nation received its own musical themes, which I wrote to evoke a general sense of a culture without referencing any particular national anthem.

This week’s cue accompanies the victory for the United States campaign, and also subtly invokes the main theme for the game itself. (We composers love allusions like that; our challenge is to make them feel musical rather than intellectual.)
