"First Flights" is a musical portrait of the events that took place when Orville and Wilbur Wright finally "slipped the surly bonds of earth" and took to the sky. The three-movement work ("Morning's cold", "The Kitty Hawk flyer", and "Success four flights") was commissioned in 1999 by the University of Georgia Band to celebrate the 100th anniversary of powered flight.

Recorded in Springfield, Illinois in 2003.
