    I came up with this idea for a while ago, but I remember it today when I was listening to The Boy Could Fly and Fly Away Home. In movies, especially fantasy/adventure, when someone flying (on one's own, or on vehicles/birds/dandelion seeds/whatever), music tend to be very good. So I made a custom playlist featuring music from flying scenes.

    1. First Flight - Mark Isham - Fly Away Home
    2. Flik Leaves - Randy Newman - A Bug's Life
    3. The Launch - James Newton Howard - Treasure Planet
    4. Flying - Bruce Broughton - The Boy Who Could Fly
    5. Buckbeak's Flight - John Williams - Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban
    6. Cody's Flight - Bruce Broughton - The Rescuers Down Under
    7. Madness ~ Flight - Joe Hisaishi - Porco Rosso
    8. The Wind Of Time ~When A Human Can Be A Human~ - Joe Hisaishi - Porco Rosso
    9. Stroll Through The Sky - Joe Hisaishi - Howl's Moving Castle
    10. Moonlight Flight - Joe Hisaishi - My Neighbor Totoro
    11. A Town With An Ocean View - Joe Hisaishi - Kiki's Delivery Service
    12. Flying Delivery Service - Joe Hisaishi - Kiki's Delivery Service
    13. Reprise - Joe Hisaishi - Spirited Away
    14. Let's Fly! We'll Catch The Updraft! - Yuji Nomi - Whisper Of The Heart
    15. In The Air - Bruce Broughton - The Boy Who Could Fly
    16. Ride The Dragon - Harry Gregson-Williams & John Powell - Shrek
    17. Fly Away Home - Mark Isham - Fly Away Home
    18. The Boy Who Could Fly - Bruce Broughton - The Boy Who Could Fly
    19. End Credits - John Williams - E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial

    There are many Hisaishi's, because Hayao Miyazaki loves flying sequences. biggrin

    I'd like to add more tracks from soundtracks I don't own yet, such as Hook, other Harry Potter scores, Toy Story (even though it's just falling with style wink), Dinosaur, Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind, and so on. And I'm sure there are more from movies I'm not familiar with, superhero movies for example.

    What is your favorite "flying music"? Do you have any recommendations? smile

    You have a FLYING playlist yet you forgot to add "The Flying Sequence" from SUPERMAN

  3. Some of your examples are amazing and indeed a worthy addition to your playlist would be:

    John Williams - Hook - Remembering Childhood
    James Newton Howard - Dinosaur - The Egg Travels
    John Williams - Harry Potter 2 - Fawkes the Phoenix

    Jerry Goldsmith has done a lot of flight sequence music, THE BLUE MAX is full of great soaring music. And my favourite First Flight from SUPERGIRL.

    That, and the 633 Squadron theme from Ron Goodwin that just has a marvellous flying quality.

    It's a nice melody, and everyone seems to want it... but was it that great? I much prefer the main love theme.

    I also added Yuji Toriyama's The Song of Life, opening theme from japanese TV documentary series THE WORLD HERITAGE. Though it's not from particular flying scenes, it reminds me of the bird's eye view used in this program.

    I have really nice orchestral versions (performed by Royal Philharmonic Orchestra), but I couldn't find good samples online. slant

    This is the original synth version, which is still great!

    Great topic.

    Here are a few i really enjoy:

    The Flight scene from Amazon by Alan Williams

    Hear and View it here, starting at 3:36 :
    http://nz.youtube.com/watch?v=MhXlVsgY9 … re=related

    The music from Empire of the Sun by John Williams is inspired indeed. Suo Gan and Cadillac of the Skies are the pieces featured here.

    Hear it here starting at 4;00: http://nz.youtube.com/watch?v=Bej9Pmx7U0c


    The opening scene from The Edge by Jerry Goldsmith. He hints at his theme at the beginning but then at 3;12, it is in all its glory, over the mountains. Wow!

    View it here: http://nz.youtube.com/watch?v=ko9tf5WDB … re=related
    and
    Listen to it here: http://nz.youtube.com/watch?v=gLgneb6UTOg

    I also love the Flight cue from Journey of Man by Benoit Jutras

    Listen to it here: (the photo is not related to the movie.

    http://nz.youtube.com/watch?v=2xkPSD90b … re=related

    Flight over Africa from Out of Africa by John Barry/blue]

    Hear it here starting at 1:06 : http://nz.youtube.com/watch?v=JHjwq3e7lHw

    [blue]Peter Gabriel     rearranged an older song for this Alan Parker movie:

    View and listen to it here: http://nz.youtube.com/watch?v=OYUGIEzyW … re=related

    and Good to Go by Alan Silvestri from Contact

    It is wonderful music including the arrangement that Mark Isham did for the song 10 000 miles.

    Yes it's great scene! Fly Away Home is one of my favorite films smile

    I bought that song from iTunes (it's on the singer's album). I added it to the promo and arranged in chronological order.
