Bill Calhoun’s popularity as a composer is growing quickly; and no wonder, given his knack for writing exciting, elegant and well-scored works for young performance groups. Night Flight’s fearless melody takes the players and audience on a musical journey of flight into the night sky. A perfect selection to showcase your developing string orchestra at a contest or festival performance.
Night Flight is a fast-paced composition, written in an aggressive 4/4. All voices of the ensemble have the opportunity to feature the melodic theme. The intense nature of the piece is characterized by accented rhythmic figures throughout most of the piece. Articulated eighth-note patterns should be played with force and separation in the forte sections, and light and separated in the expressive sections. Composed in D minor, your students will enjoy the opportunities this piece provides to sound more mature than their years. Night Flight is the perfect choice for any concert or festival program.
