Drawing upon the vision and bravery of those who take to the skies, the majestic hymn-like introduction, soaring lines and energetic rhythms of this Robert W. Smith original overture was inspired by our country's rich aerospace history. This refreshing work delivers innovative tonalities and textures as well as intriguing melodic content. At times heroic, at times reflective, this is one composition you will want to have in your library! Highly recommended!
