Program Notes
Your Mission: Win the battle.
Attack of the Toy Planes brings you back to a simple time, a time when all that was on your mind was playing with your toys. Attack tells the story of two children playing with their toy airplanes in an intense mock battle. Attack sets up a constantly driving groove with persistent eighth notes and changing time signatures. The battle starts off in a lighthearted way, but as the music unfolds, it delves deeper into the children’s imaginations, creating lifelike scenes of the air battle swirling around them -- the planes flying above and the soldiers battling on the ground. Amidst the turmoil of the ending, all the brass falls out except the French horns, as they let out one last battle cry before they are ultimately silenced.
