What do the American Joseph Kittinger and the Austrian Felix Baumgartner have in common? They both jumped from over 30 km high with a parachute! While Kittinger's attempt in 1960 was from a height of 31,333 meters, Felix Baumgartner broke this record in 2012 with a breathtaking 38,969 meters. Stratosphere describes the adventure, from ascending the heights with the help of a balloon, to the short pause in the stratosphere, and the jump, the turbulence during the free-fall descent, and finally the opening of the parachute and the safe landing. Duration: 6:05.

Stratoscape, by Swiss composer Gauthier Dupertuis, is a colorful and contrasting work for wind orchestra, depicting the view of our earth as seen from the stratosphere. This voyage into the sky is pictural, but also metaphorical, as it is also about distancing from our world. The work is divided into five sections: I Ignition!, II Broadness & The Big Blue, III Stars Shining from Down to Above, IV Destructive Forces, V One and Only Home Five contrasting movements, starting with Ignition in which Gauthier Dupertuis tries to musically convey the majesty of our planet seeing if from the atmosphere, ending with One and Only Hope, as the title say, a message of hope. In between three movements that depict the broadness of the landscapes of our planet (second movement), the fragility of our earth at night with only the stars shining (third movement). But also sheer reality in the fourth movement when the composer translates into music the damage caused toour planet by us human beings. Stratoscape: a fantastic view of Planet Earth!

Lewis Capaldi created a ballad that makes the absolute most out of the four-chord formula that provides the basis for many a pop song. This arrangement takes what makes the original so great and catapults it into the stratosphere!
