Celestial Flight

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth..." Inspired by the poem High Flight, experience the freedom of flying, with sweeping woodwinds and mallets soaring above the cinematic melodic statement by brass. The highly rhythmic melody soars upward to the lyrical section which seems to float effortlessly through the upper atmosphere. At its musical apex it reunites with the opening material for a swift and breathtaking finish.
