Product Description
The Great
Blue Heron
was inspired by the relatively large, wading bird, commonly found in North and
Central America. The name of this bird has always conjured in me an image of
something of such immense size and, yet, unbelievable beauty and wonder. Something
bsoth terrifying and awe-inspiring.
Musically speaking, this work is an
arabesque, a short, single movement containing ornamentation. This term is also
in art to describe works that contain two flowing, decorative motifs in the
shape of "S" and "U". In ballet, it is used to describe the shape and movement
of a spiral. The gestures of this work follow the contour of these shapes and
movements and embody the arabesque in all of these forms.
