In the beginning, there is a soft melody that implies hope. Then it starts to speed up a tiny but and the music gets a bit rough and edgy. This is when the Light Brigade is actually rushing into the battle with their passion. After, the music gets very loud and all of the sudden gets quiet. This could symbolize that the Light Brigade has battled, and knows that they cannot win, no matter how hard they try. The music continues to grow rapidly again, meaning the army did not give up and they keep trying. Hope is still with them. There are many parts in the music piece where it gets gradually louder and louder and then BAM! The explosion of a cannon. then softer and softer and that lets the listener visually imagine the battle between the two armies and what the Light Brigade was feeling.
