H Engines of ResistanceLarry Clark. Two
powerful themes resisting each other provide
the gas that makes this engine go, and when
they clash, not even the brake drum (the one the
percussion section plays!) can slow things down!
There's no shortage of aggressive accents here,
either...but don't worry about your players going
overboard, because Engines Of Resistance can
take anything you can throw at it! Definitely a high
octane piece!

great peoples and remind us of the rich heritage

battle between a solitary warrior and a dragon

l Festival Fanfare and MarchChris M.
Bernotas. From the brilliant opening fanfare to the
noble march, this little gem sounds more like an
adventure movie score than an easy-level band
piece. It's a spirited work for introducing students

this is a very likeable piece for opening a concert,
or for a music festival.

4 From Earth to SkyJohn Edmondson. A
vivid portrayal that features themes based on a
descending bass line (earth), which is juxtaposed
by an ascending line above it (sky). The composer
has crafted the perfect balance among the lively,

middle section, and the stately return of the original
theme. An excellent work!
