Engines of Resistance
By Larry Clark
Item: 00-BD9670
Series: Belwin Beginning Band
Level: 1
Take notice! Seldom, if ever, have we heard a more musically exciting venture for beginning band. Composer Larry Clark, in a highly creative period, has developed this stunning new work. Two opposing themes resist one another. A constant motor element in the winds fights the lyrical melodic material. Each new angular theme is more forceful than the last. Percussion is a separate color opposing the winds. Unique and tightly written, with fantastic program potential! This title is available in SmartMusic.

I loved this song in middle school. Can’t believe I’m almost done with college now

[@LorenMLang]

I finished high school two decades ago and I still remember playing this in middle school!

No, as a French hornist, I loved playing the harmonies.

[@neptunesmoonss]

great song that reminds me of impending doom, either because i was a flute who didn’t play fast very often being given this song or because it generally it just sounds like the end of the world👍

I am a trombone player yesterday my school did a concert with this song in it, it so cool to listen to so here I am. I am a beginner on the trombone so I am in the 7th grade and the song is a high school song. My school also has a tradition of playing The Great Locomotive Chase.

[@basilstamatopoulos9094]

Hold the phone. first of all this song, unless your high school play super easy music, is a middle school song and I doubt your high school does cuz ur play locomotive chase I am confusion

This song was pretty fun to play during music in the parks. This is coming from a percussionist who’s actually a fluteist* edit I’m now on bass clarinet* feels weird returning as a freshman a few years later and listening to it
