Program Notes
Uplifting and bright, this fine overture was written for the Salt Lake Symphonic Winds. Images of flight are suggested through the composer's use of rhythm and tempo. The middle section has solo lines for trumpet and clarinet and is beautifully scored utilizing the many different colors available to the wind medium. Various cross cueings allow the conductor/director freedom to tailor the piece to fit a particular ensemble.
As Spirits Take Flight is dedicated to the Salt Lake Symphonic Winds, Dr. Thomas Rohrer, conductor.
