Dillon's Flight was inspired by the legend of the Phoenix, a bird of fire that does not lay eggs, has no younglings, was here at the beginning of time, and yet still lives today in a hidden desert land. Every 500 years, the sun burns down on the Phoenix until a flash of light appears and it becomes consumed by the flames of fire. From the pile of silvery-gray ash rises up a young Phoenix. The young Phoenix then takes flight and sings its glorious song to the sun for another five hundred years. Dedicated to the Dillon School in Phoenix, New York, this musical depiction is jam-packed with energy. (5:07) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

Begin your concert with this dynamic fanfare that has strong film score overtones. Moving through a series of compelling themes, this work is dramatic, yet won't place serious demands on chops. After a powerful opening, a more lyrical section takes over and continues to develop until the main theme rises once again in triumphant fashion. A fantastic new work for concert band by a world class composer!
