This is the first movement,\n\"SkyLine\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn contrast to the metallic and concrete structures lay the parks….both large and small,\nfilling acres or sometimes just a few square feet. Feeding this greenery and sometimes\nlush carpet are tributaries, hidden streams, small creeks and occasionally rivers. The\nwaters represent constant change, under calm waters and over powerful currents, doing so\nwith exquisite beauty. This is \"river sings a song to trees\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final movement, \"Peachtree Street\", is a representation of all those roadways and\nmain arteries that flow through cities (Peachtree Street is the main street that runs through\ndowntown Atlanta, the city of my childhood). Every main street that runs through a city\nis loaded with the energy and bustle of commerce, reflecting the needs and wants of its\ncitizens through businesses. Because there is so much diversity in city streets, I've\ncreated a movement that explores the diverse sections of the orchestra, their relationships,\nand their combination in creating a larger voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work was commissioned and premiered in 2002 by the Atlanta Symphony\nOrchestra, Robert Spano, Music Director.\n--Jennifer Higdon\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lawdon Press","offers":[{"title":"Full Score","offer_id":45032085946447,"sku":"LAWD-303","price":90.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Study Score","offer_id":45032085979215,"sku":"LAWD-304","price":66.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/es\/products\/higdon-city-scape-lawdon-1","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
