Whitman: Solomon’s Flight

$21.99

The dream of flying — the magical transformation of an ordinary human into an airborne creature — is a common thread in stories from many cultures. This music conjures an emotional trajectory for such a journey, loosely based on Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon. It celebrates the exuberant sense of freedom from gravity (and other kinds of bondage). Yet it is also melancholy, embracing the wistfulness of a traveler contemplating what has been left behind, or the sadness of those who remain on the ground after witnessing a loved one depart.
