Cadillac of the Skies - from Empire of the Sun, John Williams arr. Jonathan Bates. Brass Band

Cadillac of the Skies is taken from the score to 1987 film Empire of the Sun, by John Williams. As Jim, played by a young Christian Bale, watches in amazement as the P-51 aircrafts attack the camp, he is overcome by the majestic spectacle of the aircraft and screams out joyously, 'P-51, Cadillac of the Skies!' with the serene and beautiful music of the scene being wonderfully juxtaposed with the surroundings of war.
