Description

The period of the early 1900s - including the music of the age - is captured in Aerodynamics, by David Gillingham. The piece programatically depicts Dayton, Ohio, including the metal shop of Orville and Wilbur Wright as they assembled the first machine of powered flight - as well as the first flight itself from the sands of Kitty Hawk, NC. The encore, at 8:24, is one of the most popular marches of the 1920s, The Gallant Seventh by John Philip Sousa. Recorded May 16, 2013 at Grove City (OH) High School.
