Comments about "FLIGHT" by the composer
"I composed Flight at the request of the Annapolis Brass Quintet, to whom it is affectionately dedicated. The work is in two movements, the first of which, through legato chromatic scales and glissandi, seems to convey the idea of "flight". The second movement begins in a more sombre mood and works its way through a series of increasingly rapid variations back to a brief recap of the first statement."
