Because they presumably work in a world of\nimagination, would their dreams be different than what others might dream? or are we\nall poets in our own dream worlds? The poet might be the main character or s\/he might\nalso be just a part of the fabric, observing from the sidelines. This also represents the\npianist's role within a piano quintet, prominent but also just part of the story. and so,\ndifferent dreams present themselves…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Racing Through Stars\" portrays a journey, beginning slowly and progressing faster and\nfaster, of moving away from Earth, into the sky and past all sorts of small, brilliant stars.\nNot realizing at first where the journey is going, the dreamer becomes more and more\nthrilled with the view as s\/he looks back to what has been and then forward to all that is\ncoming. in the course of this trip, the quintet gets a chance to race through all 12 Major\nkeys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Summer Shimmers Across the Glass of Green Ponds\" is quite the contrast to the\nprevious dream…here, the stillness is glasslike, as the dreamer sits by a pond, on a\nSummer's eve, at twilight, watching the float, which does not even jiggle in the water, at\nthe end of a fishing pole…even the fish are still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I Saw The Electric Insects Coming\" is the kind of nightmare that no one likes to have,\nbut in the poet's mind, the insects are both small and the size of buildings, and they are,\nregrettably, electric. Their invulnerability seems to be magnified by this presence of\nelectricity, and the incessant hum is a reminder that they're never far away. There seems\nto be no escaping as they follow us from the day into the night.\n\"In The Blue Fields They Sing\" is perhaps a vision about heaven…a place where the\nfields are like the sky. and somewhere in those fields, there is a sweet and wonderful\nsinging…as Blue would sing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The Fast Dancers Dance Faster!\" brings us the dancers, in a group ensemble and then in\nduets, as the pianist gets a chance to dance with each partner of the ensemble. Each\nstring player has a different style in this dance, but having all those styles combined\nmakes for a wonderful, frenzied romp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e--Jennifer Higdon\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lawdon Press","offers":[{"title":"Set of Parts","offer_id":45178970505295,"sku":"LAWD-162","price":60.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Score","offer_id":45178970538063,"sku":"LAWD-163","price":24.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/es\/products\/higdon-scenes-from-the-poets-dreams-lawdon","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
