Electricity - Brian Balmages

Electricity - Brian 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 circuit. The simple effect of a water gong creates the effect of a machine grinding to a halt. The circuit soon becomes live again as the electron races on. Absolutely stunning!
I own nothing.

[@BloonMan137]

Playing this in 3 weeks. It's definitely hard because I'm only in middle school, but it's a really fun challenge, and it absolutely has no right to go this hard

[@tyvlogs5976]

i played this last year its pretty epic

[@manilovefrogs-12]

lol im playing this tmr

[@razor1865]

i didn’t play this song, i’m here because Brian Balmages is just SUCH a great composer. my favorite is probably Moscow, 1941. he sure can write some amazing compositions

[@cmeron9039]

we played moscow 1941 last semester and were playing this one now. I think our school really likes brain balmages.

[@turtlesarecool]

I've actually met him! My dad is a composer and he has worked with him before.

[@kellenbalake]

The timani part is so cool especially before the blackout section

[@222.catsandog]

Real

[@CalebSeyoum]

Beautiful horns

[@jaykobleuthauser]

I played this last year before I left the french horn section back to trumpet due to personal reasons. Anyway at the blackout, the A below the staff was so challenging. Took me weeks to start on that note.

[@plainnvanilla]

I'm playing this some and I play the French horn right after the blackout, fh and clarinet have a duet after it and it's one of my favorite parts. But the ending, with the B natural, definitely my favorite part. I can't believe I'm geeking out about this lmao

[@gray-ish]

I play French Horn too! We could not get the timing right on that part, took us forever but we did eventually get it.

[@rand0mly_avah]

As a tenor sax who supported the melody during the blackout section, I can admit it was pretty dope

[@hhsmusicalartsprogram]

i played this a year ago for distance learning projects over the computer and it is such a good piece bro 😭 i miss it and i hope i can play it for my finale concert this year (my teacher asked for suggestions so i chose that one)

[@theblueassassin]

Which Percussion part do you recommend? I get first choice and I want to know which is the best.

[@Kidcool1254]

This is a really fun song, we play it on December 12 and I play most percussion 2 parts, really tho, this song does not need to hit this hard 🔥

[@Duck-cf1sg]

It does hit hard, harder than most sticks/mallet/other hitting a instrument

I get to play mallet one, and today insulted all the percussionists of the world, one of the saxophones said that percussion is useless and the band does not need it, and all I have to say is Sophia, your opinion is not valid and I will summon all the percussionists on you

Percussion over saxophone!
