Respighi wanted the ground to tremble under the footsteps of his army and he instructs the organ to play bottom B on the 8β², 16β² and 32β² organ pedals. The score calls for six buccine β ancient circular trumpets that are usually represented by modern flugelhorns, and which are sometimes played offstage. Trumpets peal and the consular army rises in triumph to the Capitoline Hill. One day prior to the final rehearsal, Respighi revealed to Elsa that the crescendo of "I Pini della Via Appia" made him feel "'an I-donβt-know-what' in the pit of his stomach", and the first time that a work he had imagined turned out how he wanted it.
