Oh for the Wings - Lyric Video

I was commissioned to write an orchestral piece for the audience to learn and sing as part of a family concert. The rest of the programme was celebrating the film music of John Williams (Jaws, E.T. and Star Wars) and Alan Silvestri (Back to the Future). I decided that 'flying' was a theme that joined most of these pieces and chose the timeless words from Psalm 55 "Oh for the wings of a dove" which expresses the human longing to fly (away from trouble/pressure). I also enjoyed the opportunity to reference John Williams' orchestral and harmonic language. We took 5 minutes to learn the song with the audience, but the inbuilt repetition of the phrases allows the audience to learn the song whilst singing it. We also created actions for the words.
