The Fire Scene and the Coming of War

Another of my favorite pieces. An excerpt from the famous Japanese opera "Ougi no Mato" (扇の的) is featured here, as well as a variation on "The Chairman's Waltz". While this is the longest piece on the soundtrack, you don't realize it because it sounds like a compilation of various shorter pieces.
