Additional info/contents	Diese erhebende und glänzende Ouvertüre wurde für die Salt Lake Symphonic Winds geschrieben. Durch den kompositorischen Gebrauch von Rhythmus und Tempo werden Bilder eines Fluges erweckt. Der Mittelteil weist Sololinien für Trompete und Klarinette auf und ist wunderbar instrumentiert – es wurden die vielen Klangfarben verwendet, die das Blasorchester zur Verfügung hat. Verschiedene Stichnoten geben dem Dirigenten die Freiheit, das Stück auf sein ganz spezielles Ensemble anzupassen. Ausgezeichnet für Schulblasorchester oder Musikvereine. Uplifting and bright, this fine overture was written for the Salt Lake Symphonic Winds. Images of flight are suggested through the composer's use of rhythm and tempo. The middle section has solo lines for trumpet and clarinet and is beautifully scored utilizing the many different colors available to the wind medium. Various cross cueings allow the conductor/director freedom to tailor the piece to fit a particular ensemble. An excellent choice for high school and community bands alike.
