Program Notes
A Glimpse of Paradise is the central movement of a larger work entitled 'Sinfonietta.' Serene in style, the first and final parts of this piece were originally written for a sequence in the Royal Military Tattoo 2000, played under the John Magee poem High Flight – 'Oh I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth .... Put out my hand, and touched the face of God' – with videos of eagle owls in flight dramatically projected onto the buildings of Horse Guards in Whitehall, London.
