Insurgence

This powerful work begins with a driving rhythmic ostinato in the winds, low brass, and percussion. Soaring, aggressive horn lines take the lead in this post-apocalyptic setting. The theme is passed to the trumpets and then the winds, heralding their presence in this work. The piece transitions to a slightly lyrical section before recapitulating the main theme with the full ensemble, bringing the work to a thunderous conclusion. (3:30)
