RE: Music inspired by flight?



Hi, Connie!

Perhaps not entirely flight related, but how 'bout the Salvation Army cornet
solo, "Clear Skies"?  Its a pretty piece, and the title is evocative of
flight.  My wife, Laura, played this with the Illinois Brass Band a couple
of years ago.

By the way, she and I have (along with four or five others) left the IBB for
the newly founded Chicago Brass Band, conducted by the former IBB MD, Colin
Holman.  A similar number from Prairie Brass Band have also jumped ship....

Oh, yeah, also "Berliner Luft" is another "air" related piece, a fairly good
march...

Hope this helps!
