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. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | ||

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. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

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. | |||
