To Soar with Eagles

邁克爾-斯威尼（Michael Sweeney）在這首動感十足的多風格樂隊序曲中，以鮮明的打擊樂、銅管樂器的扇形奏鳴和木管樂器的旋轉效果開場。隨後是快速的節奏和長時間的鋪墊，使用了非傳統的和聲和重疊的聲音層次，最後以整個樂隊雄偉高亢的陳述達到高潮。中段較慢，長笛獨奏，伴以豐富的音色和對位元。在打擊樂部分的帶動下，快節奏再次出現，隨後反復出現之前的主題，最後曲子圓滿結束。這首曲子變化多樣，節奏明快，是參加比賽或音樂節的最佳選擇。長度5:20

原文簡介:
In this dynamic multi-style overture for band, Michael Sweeney opens with stark percussive hits, brass fanfares, and swirling woodwind effects. A fast tempo and long build follows, using non-traditional harmonies and overlapping layers of sound, climaxing with a majestic, soaring statement by the entire ensemble. The slower middle section features a solo flute accompanied by rich sonorities and counterlines. The fast tempo returns initiated by the percussion section and then recurring earlier themes as the pieces drives to a satisfying finish. With variety and pacing, this is a perfect choice for contest or festival. Dur: 5:20
