for SATB and pianola

Overture: Icarus
Love feathereth my wings, and bold desire
Spreadeth them for such lofty flight that I,
For ever soaring, hour by hour aspire
To assail the very portals of the sky.
When I look down afraid through the boundless space,
He speaketh, proudly promising so be
I fall and perish in such noble race,
Death’s leap will be my immortality.
Take-off
Luigi Tansillo (1510-1568)
English ranslation by Lorna de’ Lucchi
The problem of aerial navigation without the use of a balloon has been solved at last.
Over the sand hills of the North Carolina coast yesterday, near Kitty Hawk, two Ohio
men proved that they could soar through the air in a flying machine of their own
construction, with the power to steer it and speed it at will.
Wilbur Wright, the chief inventor of the machine, sat in the operator’s car and when all
was ready his brother unfastened the catch which held the invention at the top of the
slope.
The big box began to move slowly at first, acquiring velocity as it went, and when half
way down the hundred feet the engine was started.
The propeller in the rear immediately began to revolve at a high rate of speed, and
when the end of the incline was reached the machine shot out into space without a
perceptible fall.
By this time the elevating propeller was also in motion, and, keeping its altitude, the
machine slowly began to go higher and higher until it finally soared sixty feet above the
ground.
Maintaining this height by the action of the under wheel, the navigator increased the
revolutions of the rear propeller, and the forward speed of the huge affair increased
until a velocity of eight miles an hour was attained.
But the inventor waited. Not until he had accomplished three miles, putting the
machine through all sorts of maneuvers en route, was he satisfied.

Then he selected a suitable place to land, and, gracefully circling, drew his invention
slowly to the earth, where it settled, like some big bird, in the chosen spot.
“Eureka,” he cried, as did the alchemist of old.
from The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, December 18, 1903
Success four flights Thursday morning all against twenty one mile wind started from
level with engine power alone average speed through air thirty one miles longest flight

Orville Wright (1871-1948)
Flight
Give me the wings, magician! So their tune
Mix with the silver trumpets of the Moon,
And, beyond music mounting, clean outrun
The golden diapason of the sun.
There is a secret that the birds are learning
Where the long lanes in heaven have a turning
And no man yet has followed: therefore these
Laugh hauntingly across our usual seas.
I'll not be mocked by curlews in the sky;
Give me the wings, magician, or I die.
Landing
Humbert Wolfe (1885-1940)
I am alone. I can see nothing at all. For 10 minutes I am lost. It is a strange position to be
alone, unguided, without a compass in the air over the middle of the channel. I touch
nothing. My hands and feet rest lightly on the levers. I let the aeroplane take its own
course. I care not whither it goes. For 10 minutes I continue, neither rising nor falling
nor turning, and then 20 minutes after I have left the French coast I see the green hills of
Dover, the castle, and away to the west the spot where I intended to land.
What can I do? It is evident that the wind has taken me out of my course. I am almost
west of Margaret’s Bay, and I am going in the direction of the Goodwin Sands. Now it is
time to attend to steering. I press a lever with my foot and turn easily toward the west,
reversing the direction in which I am now travelling. Now, indeed, I am in difficulties,
for the wind here by the cliffs is much stronger and my speed is reduced as I fight
against it, yet my beautiful aeroplane responds —

Once more I turn my aeroplane, and describing a half-circle I enter the opening and find
myself again over dry land. Avoiding the red buildings on my right, I attempt a
landing, but the wind catches me and whirls me around two or three times. At once I
stop my motor, and instantly my machine falls upon the land from a height of 65 feet. In
two or three seconds I am safe upon your shores. Soldiers in khaki run up, and a
policeman and two of my compatriots are on the spot. They kiss my cheek. The
conclusion of my flight overwhelms me. I have nothing to say, but accept the
congratulations.
Louis Blériot (1872-1936)
Toccata aeronautica
[instrumental]
Newsreel/narration
An uninterrupted navigable ocean, that comes to the threshold of every man’s door,
ought not to be neglected as a source of human gratification and advantage…I feel
perfectly confident that this noble art of flying will soon be brought home to man’s
personal convenience, and that we shall be able to transport ourselves and families, and
their goods and chattels, more securely by air than by water, and with a velocity of from
20 to 100 miles per hour…Aerial navigation will form a most prominent feature in the
progress of civilisation.
Sir George Cayley (1773-1857)
After midnight the moon set and I was alone with the stars. I have often said that the
lure of flying is the lure of beauty, and I need no other flight to convince me that the
reason flyers fly, whether they know it or not, is the esthetic appeal of flying
Amelia Earhart (1897-1937)
On April 12 th 1911 Pierre Prier made the first non-stop flight from London to Paris, in 3
hours and 56 minutes.
In March 1914 the first commercial passenger service was launched, between St
Petersburg and Tampa, Florida.
On November 22 nd 1914 the first German aircraft was shot down in aerial combat.
In June 1919 Captain John Alcock and Lieutenant Arthur Brown made the first non-stop
crossing of the Atlantic, winning the £10,000 Northcliffe Prize.

In 1922 the first purpose-built air passenger terminal was opened, in Königsberg-Devau.
On October 26 th 1925 Jimmy Doolittle won the Schneider Trophy, setting a world speed
record of 245 miles per hour.
In May 1927 Charles Lindbergh made the first solo crossing of the Atlantic in his Spirit
of St Louis.
In May 1930 Amy Johnson became the first woman to fly solo from Britain to Australia.
Amelia Earhart made only the second solo flight across the Atlantic, and the first by a
female pilot, in May 1932.
On February 3 rd 1934 the first transatlantic airmail service was established, from
Stuttgart to Buenos Aires.
In August 1938 a Lufthansa Focke Wulf Fw 200 made the first non-stop passenger flight
from Berlin to New York.
By the late 1930s Aeroflot, then the world’s largest airline, was operating around 3000
aircraft.
Chorale-Coda
Breathe deep, mine eyes, the frosty saga of eternal suns.
From unseen depths and dreams undreamt,
I sing the gleaming cantos of unvanquished space.
By thought I embrace the universal.
With wings of mind I sail the infinitude.
Glory! 'tis the stars which beckon man's spirit and set our souls adrift!
Hart Crane (1899-1932)
