It is everything. Everything that exists has in some form sprung from\nnature. It is powerful, omnipotent and omnipresent. and to try to describe or depict\nnature in musical language is a nearly impossible task, because even as musicians issue\nforth choreographed notes from instruments, which themselves are made of materials of\nnature, no one can even begin to accurately portray that most phenomenal of phenomena.\nAnd to attempt to do so, even the most successful musicalization, is to barely scratch the\nsurface of a beautiful reality. Therefore, I humbly submit to you this work as homage to\nthat piece of nature within the city of Philadelphia, the Wissahickon Park. As words and\ntitles feel very insignificant in this endeavor, I have decided to use lower case letters\n(except where a Tree began to grow in my title). and since time and nature consistently\nmarch along, regardless of man's attempts to mark or defame, I have connected the\nseason movements with \"progressing clock\" movements. The music has been composed\nto proceed without breaks, as nature's seasons never cease to blend from one into another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e--Jennifer Higdon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Wissahickon Park:\nA deep, forested gorge cut over the last million years by the Wisshickon Creek, this\nseven-mile valley is the \"jewel in the crown\" of Philadelphia's Fairmount Park system.\n\"The Wissahickon\", as it is familiarly known, attracts thousands every week to its 1,800\nacres to walk, hike, bike, bird watch, and ride horseback on more than 45 miles of trails.\nIn 1964, the Wissahickon Park was designated a National Natural Landmark, and it is one\nof the few urban wilderness areas left in the United States\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lawdon Press","offers":[{"title":"Score \u0026 Set of Parts","offer_id":45179062583375,"sku":"LAWD-228","price":66.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Score","offer_id":45179062616143,"sku":"LAWD-229","price":18.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/es\/products\/higdon-wissahickon-poetrees-lawdon","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
