High Flight
by Michael Mikulin
SATB with piano – CP 2276 – duration 3:15
Michael has written a terrific, very choral, very approachable setting of a famous poem. Intuitive voice leading and rich harmonies bring the text to life.
Poet, John Gillespie Magee Jr., (1922 – 1941) was a World War II Anglo-American Royal Canadian Air Force fighter pilot and war poet, who wrote the sonnet “High Flight”. He was killed in an accidental mid-air collision over England in 1941.
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
