North is a fast-paced overture written entirely in a

Balmages. Experience the thrill of a single electron
racing through a circuit at mind-boggling speeds!
The wild ride begins immediately with two sets of
bells creating an invigorating metallic backdrop.
The intensity continues until a blackout occurs
without warning, shutting power down to the entire

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!
