‘Wings of Freedom’ is a large-scale work for symphonic wind band, written by Thomas Hewitt Jones and commissioned by the Central Band of the Royal Air Force. Inspired by the RAF’s four core values – Respect, Integrity, Service and Excellence (RISE) – the piece received its London premiere at Holy Trinity church, Sloane Square, last September, under the direction of Squadron Leader Chris I’Anson.
The band subsequently performed the work in Cambridge and also at Regent Hall in London, where the entire piece was filmed. You can now enjoy it via the RAF Music Service’s YouTube feed:
