Sheet Music: ScoreHeart of Air : for soprano and xylophone / Alexander Voltz.by Alexander Voltz (2019)

Product details
Whether Earhart and Noonan were or weren't as Heart of Air depicts them is irrelevant - almost. I toy with the idea of presenting a more or less revered icon in a different light. Why is it that we come to respect the goliaths of history? Is it because they did great things, because they were great? Or is it because they were merely perceived as doing great things? Were they always great? Perhaps they were never actually great in the first place. The questions are aplenty, I feel, and, as enlightened constructs of the Western caldron, we should draw immense satisfaction from interpretation.
But let us not excuse the immense hypocrisy that has crept into our society. Some people are apparently more deserving of criticism than others, while some are too holy to be considered even slightly heretical. In our twenty-first century of equality, one does pause.
