Walking on Air
1st May 2012
Howard Blake’s captivating Walking in the Air, most famously associated with Raymond Briggs’ film adaptation of The Snowman , has once again been used to enhance a visual journey – this time by NASA. The video, entitled ‘Walking on Air’, features a series of time-lapse sequences photographed by the Expedition 30 crew aboard the International Space Station. A stunning display of natural and man-made light, the sequence includes views of Aurora Borealis, comets, lightning storms and countries lit up at night. The UK can be viewed at 1:34 and 3:08. Blake’s timeless and haunting classic perfectly accompanies the timeless natural beauty of planet Earth. Sheet music for Walking in the Air, as well as many other arrangements of music from The Snowman, are available to hire from the Music Sales website. A list of available works can be found here.
