The piece is Christopher Tin's "Sogno di Volare". Many of you may know it from the video game Civilization VI. First of all, I had no idea whatsoever that video games commissioned world-class contemporary composers for their games. Second, this piece gives me the chills every single time I listen to it, even for section practice. It's grand in the scale of Beethoven; its text is moving: taken from Leonardo da Vinci, it is a hymn to man's quest for flight. Once you have taken flight, You'll decide Gaze towards the sky, you'll know that That is where your heart will feel at home. _________________________ “Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority.

Love this - had to watch on the big screen, then watched a performance recorded in Wales. Thank you for sharing this! "The sea was angry that day, my friends - like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli." - George Costanza | |||

Thanks for posting Was going to be mad there was no 747, but it was there in a split second shot toward the end. Saturn V, Concorde and the SR71 for me. No shuttle, either. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

FrontRange--I have to listen on AirPods because currently living with daughter's family. I look forward to hearing it through good speakers sometime. _________________________ “Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority.

Beautiful. It’s sometimes hard to believe we went from fabric covered biplanes to walking on the moon in roughly 50 years. Mind boggling | |||

I LOVE this piece. There’s some great music in video games. God of War also has some cool choral/orchestral stuff. | |||
