On the 100th anniversary of the invention of powered flight. Composed by Shaffer. Concert Band. Holiday Treasures Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR322). Extra full score. Composed 2002. Duration 5 minutes, 4 seconds. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-3228-01. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-3228-01).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!
