Blitzstein’s “The Airborne” aims for Strictly American sound
Philadelphia composer Blitzstein discusses his shuttle raid themed work “The Airborne” for the Eighth Air Force, noting it aims to capture American airmen’s mood with no sound effects and may face a British cast challenge to convey the text’s American idiom. He believes air force troops appreciate it and views its reception as a measure of success.
