A Glimpse of Paradise is the central movement of a larger work entitled, 'Sinfonietta'. Serene in style the first and final parts of this piece were originally written for a sequence in the Royal Military Tattoo 2000, played under the John Magee poem High Flight -- 'Oh I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth ............ Put out my hand, and touched the face of God'- with videos of eagle owls in flight dramatically projected onto the buildings of Horse Guards in Whitehall, London.
