This work commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Wright Brothers' first controlled flight by an aircraft using its own power. The first movement Inspirations musically represents the influences on our imagination to fly like a bird. The second movement Experiments begins with a four-measure theme that goes through a number of transformations throughout the movement. It represents the basic idea of the Wright Flyer and its adjustments made to enable it to fly with control. The last movement Triumphs alternates a celebratory section in 7/8 and 6/8 with a sustained melody of flight. This work is recorded by Shelley Jagow and In-Hong Cha on the Emeritus label Variations CD and by Jason T. Laczkoski and Anna Draper on the CD Come Down Heavy!
