Aviation : for a cappella SATB choir / Matthew Orlovich.

Work Overview
This work is a setting of John Kinsella's poem 'Aviation'.
Comprising three stanzas, Kinsella's poem presents a series of
vivid images as seen from windows or vantage points. My choral
setting is a response to this series of images. In addition, I
have drawn inspiration from the poet's references to the motoric
propelling, ascending and gliding of various aircraft.
