An Attempt: Card 3 - The Best of Both Worlds

Tonight I am attempting Card 3,
With the accompaniment of The Last Samurai*.
Card 3 is going to be less compact than Card 2,
But with the best of both worlds.
It is going to be fantastic.

*Shakuhachi, flutes, koto, and taiko drums,
Make their presence known throughout the journey,
A reflective duet for flute and strings,
Swelling into an ominous but majestic melody.

Another compelling mix of beauty and violence,
With a delicate koto melody and rolling drums,
Before crashing percussion and sawing strings,
Turn the mood from bittersweet to battle-ready.
