The music of High Flight for flute strives to catch the joy and sense of freedom of flying. The melodic line floats over the cloud tops and swoops up and down in an aviator's ballet. At the end, the flutist brings the audience to a feeling of transcendance, paralleling the poet-pilot's words "[I] put out my hand, and touched the face of God."
Part of the Poetry-Inspired Solos & Duos project
