Accidental Flight was expertly composed in 2000 by Sadie Harrison . This piece was first performed by Simon Limbrick , at the Warehouse, London, in November 2000. Australian born freelance composer and performer, Sadie Harrison ’s unique fusion of elements from indigenous Lithuanian music and poetry with her own modernist, often abrasive, style have led her to be compared with Bartok, but with her own warmth and grandeur. Since 2012 Harrison has been working along side a long list of well accomplished musicians; Paul Carey, Peter Sheppard Skaerved, Sergej Okrushko, Alex South, Duncan Honeybourne are among many who have had the privilege work with Harrison so far. Performancesof Harrison 's works have been given across the world by Lontano, London Chamber Symphony, Music Projects/ London, Ixion, Okeanos, Bournemouth Sinfonietta, Kokoro and the St. Christopherus Chamber Orchestra, and many others.

Commissioned by the El Dorado, Kansas Municipal Band to commemorate its centennial concert season, this dramatic concert fanfare is a magnificent show-stopper! The bold interplay between brass, woodwinds and percussion provides each section a leading role in this incredibly heroic and energetic work, making it an important and highly effective addition to concert band repertoire, especially as a concert opener or closer. This masterful work by Ed Huckeby is destined to become a standard which will endure the test of time! Brilliant!

A bird is considered to have fledged at the time when its wing muscles and feathers are sufficiently developed for flight. When young birds have reached this stage, but are still dependent on their parents for care and feeding, they are referred to as fledglings. This piece musically follows a fledgling as it begins the long process of learning to fly. It starts out tentatively, gains ability, struggles, and then eventually soars.In all instances where a longer note is tied to an eighth note, players should release, stopping the sound, on the eighth note. For example, a dotted half note tied to an eighth note should have a definite stop at the beginning of beat 4.Measures 20–26: The sudden changes in dynamics should be exaggerated to produce a somewhat pronounced awkward effect.Measures 52–57: The flute, oboe, and clarinet parts should produce a constant flowing sound in the slurred eighth notes, breathing on the eighth-note rests.Measures 66–67: Make sure the staccatos are very short and pronounced, but do not cover the melody in the low brass and reeds.Measures 72–86: Emphasize the accents on the upbeats in the percussion instruments.Measure 83: Emphasize the crescendo to forte and then immediately drop to mezzo-forte.
