Nobuo Uematsu has written his fair share of epic battle music, and I thought it would be interesting to dissect how he structures one of these compositions. The Battle with Gilgamesh theme, or "Battle at the Big Bridge", from Final Fantasy V is one Uematsu's most iconic works while being compact enough that I could really dive in and pick apart the entire thing in one video.
