"Impulse Engine" is based on simple, motoric, fanfare-like motives that are tossed about the ensemble. This high-energy piece is based on another of Bremer's compositions 'Throw Caution to the Wind' (for brass and percussion) which was commissioned for the Monarch Brass Ensemble by the Oklahoma Summer Wind Festival.
