Soaring is a mode of flight in which height is gained slowly by using air that is moving upwards. David Shaffer's composition "Soaring" paints a music portrait of dedication, compassion and intensity. A slower middle section alternating between choirs of woodwinds and brass paints a serene portrait with lush harmonies and soaring countermelodies. The extensive percussion scoring utilizes timbres that add and complement the completed musical setting.
