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). Score and set of parts. Composed 2002. Duration 5 minutes, 4 seconds. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-3228-00. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-3228-00).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!
