Five Inspirations from Walt Whitman. Composed by Daniel Dorff. 8 pages. Duration 11 minutes. Theodore Presser Company #114-42363. Published by Theodore Presser Company (PR.114423630). ISBN 9781491136447. UPC: 680160689187. Walt Whitman, Song of the Open Road.
Whitman’s epic “Song of the Open Road” is an inspiring metaphor encouraging us to find and explore our own paths, free of anchors or artificial boundaries. Dorff uses 5 brief passages from the poem as movement titles, setting the stage for a suite of sometimes-edgy soliloquies in which the music (and the flutist) explores these open roads.
