Based on a famous
World War I German fighter pilot, this work feeds off of the raw
emotion of open-air cockpit combat. A haunting opening effectively
uses voices to portray a great red triplane emerging from a misty
cloudbank in preparation for battle. As the pace of music
intensifies, the plane is ambushed from behind and roaring trombone
glissandos help paint a picture of aviation chaos as the planes dive
through the air. Absolutely thrilling!
