The layout of the poetry reflects the trajectory of a relationship: from\nbirth to death. Three of the songs make use of an unusual piano technique: stopped\npiano (this unique color is created by reaching in and slightly muffling the piano\nstrings before they are struck in the traditional manner [with the hammer of the\nkey]). This color decision came about because of the presence of the violin and\ncello in the accompaniment as well; the resulting sound mimics the string\ninstruments' pizzicato effect (plucking the string, as opposed to traditional bowing).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe poems: \"Apology\", \"The Giver of Stars\", \"Absence\", and \"A Gift\" are from Sword\nBlades and Poppy Seed (1912)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"A Fixed Idea\" is from A Dome of Many-­‐Coloured Glass (1912)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lawdon Press","offers":[{"title":"Set of Parts","offer_id":45178797195343,"sku":"LAWD-118","price":54.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Score","offer_id":45178797228111,"sku":"LAWD-119","price":18.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/ja\/products\/higdon-love-sweet-lawdon","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
