On Wings Like Eagles

Description

This original work was inspired by Isaiah 40:30-31 ~ …’those who hope in the Lord… will soar on wings like eagles …’   A lovely but simple melody is established immediately and is creatively expanded through different ranges, voicings, and a few contrapuntal motifs. Delicate descending sixteenth note patterns in the 6’s accompany the sweet melody in the chimes.  A few well-placed LV, shakes, and mart-lifts add to the expression and that is precisely what you will love about this work:  it is so very expressive through dynamics and tempo changes – all leading to a powerful yet sensitive ending. Addition of Rapid Random Mallet in the 6’s and 7’s with inner voices ringing descending 16^th note patterns will leave the audience holding their collective breath as it all naturally fades away to silence.
