Aeroplane Song by Clinton Lowden — Lyrics
O’er the clouds our aeroplane is winging,
We are flying, we are flying;
Far to earth our happy shouts are ringing,
We are soaring high.
On, ever onward, still our course we steer;
On, ever onward, hearts can know no fear;
Sail, sail with gladness, ’neath a cloudless sky
With ship of air
The heights we’ll dare,
We soar on high!

About Aeroplane Song
This exhilarating SATB partsong, Aeroplane Song, captures the thrill of flight. The text paints a vivid picture of an aeroplane soaring high above the clouds, with shouts of joy ringing out from those on board. The music, set in English, conveys a sense of fearless exhilaration as the aircraft navigates over mountains and meadows, by sunlight or shadow. The soaring melodies and confident harmonies of this secular piece perfectly embody the freedom and adventure of early aviation, making it an exciting choice for choirs looking for a dynamic and uplifting choral experience.
