The Soaring Falcon - John Prescott

The thrill and excitement of flight is vividly portrayed in this heralding work that uses all the colors and textures that concert band instrumentation offers. Large ensemble textures give way to dance-like figures in 7/8 time for a remarkable culmination of energy and explosiveness. The combination of rhythms, dynamics and sonority contribute to a powerful intensity that creates a stunning and triumphant work.
