Flight Of Eagles Sheet Music

[Kerby Kolpack]

Asa courtesy to my fellow Eagles fans, who hopefully will have many chances to sing it tomorrow, I give you some sheet music and chords for the Eagles fight song. A couple of years ago I looked around the Internet for this and never found it written down, so I decided to fill the need.

The second section with the Unseen Beauty theme, is proceeded by a brief transition into a slower tempo. The theme is first heard with a flute solo representing the seldomly seen eagle with the thin texture in the music. Once the full band abruptly comes in, the theme is played once again in a full band setting reminding us when an eagle is seen, it is a beautifully majestic experience.

The final section with the Soaring theme, finally takes you in flight as seen from the view of an eagle. With the soaring melody over the ostinato accompaniment, imagine being on the wings of an eagle flying over a beautiful mountain range and landing on the highest peak looking over the setting sun. The Eagle theme is reintroduced at the end, and the majestic bird disappears into the horizon.

Does anybody know where I could get the music to Scouting Thunder? I have the lyrics (i think) but I would like the actual sheet music. Or does anybody know what the actual name of the tune Scouting Thunder is sung to? Please help

OGE If it is the song I'm thinking of the tune is Scotland The Brave. Does it have the bagpipe drone at the begining and end? I have also seen it listed as The World Brotherhood of Scouting song. Check this title's lyrics against what you have. Good luck.

My son has his Eagle Court of Honor comming up in April and we were talking about music to play. As it happens a member of the Venture Crew he is also in is a Bagpiper in a High School bagpipe core. She has 3 other pipers besides herself lined up for the event. They were going to play Amazing Grace at the end, now they will play Scotland the Brave at the beginning as well. I would still like to see lyrics to "Scouting Thunder" tho it may be known by other titles. At the National Jamboree it was played on stage and in the 2001 National Jamboree Video tape they show the piper and have the music in the background a lot.

Glad to help. Sorry I can't be in your area then. I would love to see and hear the bagpipes do that song. Our OA Lodge has a fellowship weekend scheduled for that time and I have committed to the host corps. I live in the Scranton area so maybe sometime our paths will cross.

This exciting new work is based on the griffin, a mythological creature native to India, having the head, legs, and wings of an eagle, and the body of a lion. Starting with open 5ths in the clarinets, slight elements of Indian music are introduced as the work builds to its opening theme. A powerful middle section combines elements of chamber playing and full ensemble. The closing section represents the actual flight of the griffin, bringing the whole piece to a dramatic ending. Strongly consider this highly energetic composition!

The song known to United States Navy men and women as the "Navy Hymn," is a musical benediction that long has had a special appeal to seafaring men, particularly in the American Navy and the royal navies of the British Commonwealth and which, in more recent years, has become a part of French naval tradition.

In the United States, in 1879 the late Rear Admiral Charles Jackson Train, an 1865 graduate of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, was a lieutenant commander stationed at the Academy in charge of the Midshipman Choir. In that year, Lieutenant Commander Train inaugurated the present practice of concluding each Sunday's Divine Services at the Academy with the singing of the first verse of this hymn.

Eternal Father, strong to save,

Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,

Who bid'st the mighty ocean deep

Its own appointed limits keep;

O hear us when we cry to thee,

for those in peril on the sea.

O Christ, the Lord of hill and plain

O'er which our traffic runs amain,

by mountain pass or valley low,

Wherever Lord thy brethren go;

Protect them by Thy guardian hand

From every peril on the land.

O Spirit, Whom the Father send

To spread abroad the Firmament;

O wind of heaven, by Thy Might,

Save all who dare the eagle's flight;

And keep them by Thy watchful care

From every peril in the air.

The Presbyterian Church, USA, likewise has added a new verse which recognizes the advent of the field of aviation. The best information available indicates that this new verse to Eternal Father, Strong to Save appeared in 1943 in a little booklet then entitled, "A book of Worship and Devotion for the Armed Forces," published by the Board of Christian Education of the Presbyterian Church, USA. All indications are that this new verse can be traced back to a completely separate hymn, Lord, Guard and Guide the Men Who Fly written by Mary C.D. Hamilton in 1915, during the First World War. From this hymn, the first verse and the last two lines to the fourth verse were taken to form this new verse to Eternal Father, Strong to Save. This new verse, as appearing in the little Presbyterian booklet, is as follows:

Lord, guard and guide the men who fly,

Through the great spaces of the sky;

Be with them traversing the air,

In darkening storms or sunshine fair.

O God, protect the men who fly,

Through lonely ways beneath the sky.

Apparently, during or shortly after World War II, someone in the Navy familiar with the words above adapted this verse for choral rendition. The adaptation changed a word or two here and there and substituted two new fifth and six lines. What some might call the "naval aviation version" is a follows:

Lord, guard and guide the men who fly

Through the great spaces in the sky,

Be with them always in the air,

In dark'ning storms or sunlight fair.

O, Hear us when we lift our prayer,

For those in peril in the air.

The tune of Melita, to which Reverend Dykes adapted the words of Eternal Father, Strong to Save in 1861, is, of course, a very moving and inspiring melody. Research indicates that the above additions and alterations to Reverend Whiting's original ode are not the only changes that have been or will be made to the hymn. From time to time, individuals have been and will be inspired to write verses other than those which are indicated in this brief background.

This hymn is often used at funerals for personnel who served in or were associated with the Navy. Eternal Father was the favorite hymn of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and was sung at his funeral at Hyde Park, New York, in April 1945. Roosevelt had served as Secretary of the Navy. This hymn was also played as President John F. Kennedy's body was carried up the steps of the Capitol to lie in state.

Anchors Aweigh is the official fight song of the U.S. Naval Academy and is often heard at U.S. Navy events. The music was composed in 1906 by then-Lieutenant Charles Zimmermann, bandmaster of the United States Naval Academy Band. The lyrics were written by Midshipman First Class Alfred Hart Miles, USNA class of 1907.

On this page, you will find additional reference materials, including publications in a foreign language, published handbooks and manuals, and histories and early works. This page also contains an A-Z list of our AAAE manuscript collections with descriptions of their contents.

The collection contains NACA and NASA research memoranda and reports, publication drafts, research notes and patent details for the variable-sweep wing design, correspondence, award certificates, AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics) conference programs, and personnel file papers pertaining to William J. Alford's career as an aeronautical engineer. Also included are a Langley working paper, with associated variable-sweep research notes and patent details, and a detailed schematic drawing of "the variable sweep wing configuration tested in the high-speed 7- by 10- foot tunnel." These materials date from 1951 to 1988.

Some related materials may appear in separate folders. For example, awards and correspondence are also included in the biographical and career information file. Additionally, some personnel file papers, especially many of those in the biographical and career information file, contain photocopies in the place of the original documents.

This collection contains a variety of printed materials relating to the first half-century of aviation. The collection consists largely of promotional materials published and distributed by manufacturers of airplanes and airplane parts. Represented in the collection are such well-known companies as Boeing, Lockheed, and Cessna, but the collection also holds materials from a number of lesser-known and/or defunct businesses. The collection includes material dating to the first decade of aviation, including a 1911 White Aeroplane Company catalog; more heavily represented is the World War II era. Most of the materials are from companies based in the United States, but the collection also contains materials from European companies. In addition to the promotional materials are a few periodicals (including an issue of Contact, published by the Women's National Aeronautical Association) and a menu from a 1932 dinner honoring Amelia Earhart.

This collection contains materials related to the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo space exploration programs of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Containing mostly technical data on spacecraft systems design and operation, the collection provides a detailed look at NASA systems engineering during the early to mid 1960s. The collection is divided among the following series: NASA Programs, NASA Computer Systems, NASA Public Information, and General Materials.
