The Victorious Battle against the Host of the Great Emperor Alifanfaron.
“Warlike,” D major, 4-4. There is a cloud of dust; surely a great army
approaches; the Knight rushes to fight, in spite of the warnings of
Sancho, who sees the sheep. There is a pastoral figure (wood-wind), and
out of the dust cloud (strings) comes a chorus of “Ba-a-a-a” (muted
brass). Don Quixote charges and puts the foes to confusion.
