That is an excellent performance. It is WAY better than over 10 years ago.

Beautiful

My gosh! How difficult it must be to breathe and sing with a mask & then still enunciate the words so well…

Text as follows, by Dos Passos/Dellaira: On December seventeenth, nineteen hundred and three, Bishop Wright, of the United Brethren received a telegram from his boys Wilbur and Orville who’d gotten it into their heads to spend their vacation in a little camp out on the dunes of the North Carolina coast with a homemade glider they’d knocked together themselves. The telegram read: SUCCESS FOUR FLIGHTS THURSDAY MORNING AGAINST TWENTYONE-MILE WIND STARTED FROM ENGINE- POWER ALONE The figures were a little wrong but the fact remains a couple of young bicycle mechanics from Dayton, Ohio, had designed and flown for the first time ever a practical airplane. In those days flyingmachines were the big laugh of all the cracker- barrel philosophers. they were practical mechanics; when they needed anything they built it themselves. They hit on Kitty Hawk, on the great dunes and sandy banks that stretch south to Hatteras seaward overhead the gulls and swooping terns, fishhawks and cranes flapping across the saltmarshes They were alone there, and figured out the loose sand was as soft as anything they could find to fall in taking off again and again from Kill Devil Hill they learned to fly. Aeronautics became the sport of the day congratulated by the Czar, Crown Prince, the King of Italy, King Edward for universal peace. Taking off again and again they learned to fly. In the rush of new names the Brothers Wright passed from the headlines: Bleriot, Farman, Curtiss, Ferber, Esnault-Petrie, Delagrange can blur the memory of the chilly December day two shivering bicycle mechanics first felt their homemade contraption soar into the air above the dunes of Kitty Hawk. “I released the wire that held the machine to the track. The machine started forward into the wind. Wilbur ran at the side holding the wing. The machine started slowly facing twentyseven-mile wind, it lifted from the track. Wilbur was able to stay with it until it lifted from the track after a forty foot run. The course of the flight up and down was erratic, the first flight in the history of the world. The machine carried a man by his own power into the air in full flight forward without reduction of speed landed at a point as high as that from which it started.” "When these points had been firmly established we packed our goods and returned home, knowing that the age of the flying machine had come at last."

Phenomenal! A technically challenging piece.

Excellent performance of a wonderful piece. (And what a great setting for it!)

Great performance!
