Program Notes
Formerly published as Kitty Hawk, this energetic contemporary concert march for mature groups represents an important addition to the march repertoire with its fresh-sounding harmonic structure and creative twists and turns.
- Program Note from publisher
Commissioned by the American Bandmasters Association.
- Program Note from score
We visit the Outer Banks of North Carolina and Kill Devil Hill, site of the Wright Brothers' historic first flight of a powered aircraft. John Cheetham's score for Kitty Hawk evokes the majesty of flight, and the proud and hopeful spirit of American ingenuity. In that spirit of ingenuity, the piece has been praised for its fresh-sounding harmonic structure and creative twists and turns.
