I wrote this to work on my woodwind writing technique. I always feel like I under-use them when writing orchestral work.

For this piece, I imagined what it would be like discovering flight for the first time. This could be either the Wright Brothers designing and flying their first successful plane, or perhaps an animated character discovering they can ride a broom or hang on to the back of a dragon. The woodwinds are used to create swirls of wind and gusts as the horns and strings mimic the sense of gliding on top of the airy turbulence. I tried to capture a sense of thrill and joy while underlying some nervous energy and a light sense of unease.

If you would like to use this for something, please contact me for attribution requirements. I'm also available to write custom scores. Reel linked below.

EDIT: apparently I had my French Horns muted on the first upload. Dammit.
