| Description: Before the first flight, there was a dream. Skybound captures the imagination and determination of the Wright brothers as they envisioned powered flight in Dayton, Ohio. A spirited opening theme propels the music forward, giving way to a soaring, lyrical middle section that floats effortlessly above the ensemble before returning with renewed energy. Built as a flexible multi-level work, the Grade 2.5 parts stand alone on their own, with optional Grade 4.5, 1.5, and .5 parts that can be added to expand the texture and elevate the experience for every player. |
