Written to
commemorate to 100th
aniversary of powered
flight, this dynamic
David Shaffer creation is
an ideal programming
choice for better bands.
Includes solo spots for
piccolo, F horn, oboe,
trumpet, alto sax and
flute as well as a host
of percussion parts
including piano. A broad
rubato section provides a
wonderful contrast to the
bright agressive opening
tempo and produces a
composition that is
challenging but well
worth the effort.
EXCEPTIONAL!
