Battle on the Ice

When I was a little boy, my parents had an old 78 rpm record of Prokofiev's cantata Alexander Nevsky. The central movement of this piece is The Battle on the Ice. During this portion, we would march round and round, circling through the hall, living room and bedroom. The cantata was taken from Prokofiev's music for the film of the same name, and is a really outstanding piece of music.
