- Pre-show - original music to set the stage
- Freebird - you'll hear snippets of the original tune by Lynyrd Skynyrd, but the melodies are morphed and developed in a contemporary style
- Blackbird - a flute (or other woodwind) soloist leads this arrangement of the Beatles classic
- Birdland - a jubilant closer based on the original jazz fusion song by Weather Report
