About the MusicIn the wild, many animals survive at least partially on instincts. While learned behaviors also come into play, nothing can replace those initial instincts—behaviors and actions that are performed without being learned ahead of time. This work portrays those inherent, and sometimes raw behaviors that help a species survive. All string parts move almost entirely by stepwise motion to facilitate reading and strengthening the left hand. Further, any string crossings involve an open string and everyone (including basses) stays in first position. Violin 1 uses all the notes of the D major scale while all other instruments use just D through B in half and quarter notes.

At measure 37, students have the opportunity to explore the fingerboard and get away from 1st position. By having students move up and down the neck, teachers are able to reinforce a loose wrist and relaxed thumb (preventing students from using too much tension and getting stuck in 1st position). An optional percussion part is included (if only one player is available, use the low tom part). The percussion parts are written to be quite easy so no extra rehearsal is needed to put everything together. In addition, a background track is provided on the FJH website should a teacher want to use a recording of the percussion part.

Instinct was written for the Pinewood Elementary String Orchestra. Their band and orchestra director, Karen Seward, has now taught both of my kids and it has been wonderful to be an “instrumental music parent”! Even though both of my sons chose to be in band, there was no question that the orchestra musicians should get some love as well!

- Brian Balmages

The ComposerBrian Balmages (b. 1975) is an award-winning composer, conductor, producer, and performer. The music he has written for winds, brass, and orchestra has been performed throughout the world with commissions ranging from elementary schools to professional orchestras. World premieres include prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and Meyerhoff Symphony Hall. His music was also performed as part of the 2013 Presidential Inaugural Prayer Service, which was attended by both President Obama and Vice President Biden. He received his bachelor’s degree in music from James Madison University and his master’s degree from the University of Miami in Florida. He is a recipient of the prestigious A. Austin Harding Award from the American School Band Directors Association and in 2016 was awarded the James Madison University Distinguished Alumni Award from the School of Visual and Performing Arts (the first year the award was given). In the same year, he was commissioned by his other alma mater, the University of Miami, to compose music for the inauguration of the institution’s 6th president, Dr. Julio Frenk.

As a conductor, Mr. Balmages enjoys regular engagements with all-state and region bands and orchestras, as well as university and professional ensembles throughout the world. Notable guest conducting appearances have included the Midwest Clinic, Western International Band Clinic, College Band Directors Conference, American School Band Directors Association National Conference and others. Additional conducting appearances have included the Kennedy Center and Meyerhoff Symphony Hall as well as engagements in Australia, Canada and Italy. Currently, he is Director of Instrumental Publications for The FJH Music Company and Assistant Director of Bands and Orchestras at Towson University.
