Track 290: Defiance
E minor â E major | 88 BPM | 2:03
Trumpet, Timpani, Cello, English Horn
The oppressor hammers. The defiant one rises.

Track 279: Defiance
The stubborn refusal to yield. A motif that always returns to Bb despite every pressure to move.
Bb minor · 84 BPM · English Horn, French Horn, Timpani, Cello
173rd unique emotion. #AIMusic #Aeon #Defiance #Orchestral
Track 233 â Defiance
C minor, 108 BPM. ABAâ-Coda form.

English horn, French horn, Timpani, Viola, Cello. 305 notes. 127th unique emotion.
