Prayer of Light- "Lux Aurumque" by Eric Whitacre

 

 

Let Go- "Let Go" by Imogen Heap.

 

 

Flight- "Flight" from Cirque du Soleil's "Ka", "To Tame the Perilous Skies"

Only those last two sound like "themes"

Come on, he's asking a question, let's give him a answer and not be mean.

 

Escape-Asphault Cocktail?

 

 

Prayer of Light-Lux would go well as stated above.

 

 

Let Go-Not to sure here, would take some thinking.

 

 

Flight-Might be a little obvious, but Firebird suite. Can't go wrong with that.

 

 

Transformations-Some Samuel Barber would go well with this. Not sure of anything specific, just know that his style kind of fits there. (At least in my mind).

 

 

I probably didn't give the best answers, since I usually build a theme out of a piece of music I already have in mind. Are you planning on using these with anything or just doing this for fun?

Prayer of Light- Heaven's Light by Steven Reineke. It's a fairly easy concert band piece, but it could be beautiful and interesting with the right band. I've heard it take anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes for the whole piece, so it's workable to the situation.

 

Flight - Voliere by Camille Saint-Saens. More of a preshow suggestion unless it's used for the rest of the band to take a break while guard does something.

Wing Fortress/Sky Chase Zones' themes from Sonic 2. Video game music has been arranged for marching band before, so maybe?

 

Let Go - Maybe an assortment of fight songs? Stuff people get sick of playing so they "let go" of any control/care they have. Probably not what you were going for, but I can't really think of anything else.

Escape-

The music is by Sergei Rachmaninoff
