Synopsis
This is Bach's follow-up to Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Flight still plays a role, but this time it's people in airplanes. It's a somewhat lighthearted philosophical piece that was cutting edge at the time and still holds up pretty well. We're all children of god, and the material world is illusion.
