Higdon - An Exultation Of Larks

Jennifer Higdon (b. 1962) is a winner of the Pulitzer Prize and Grammy award, and is one of the most performed living American composers working today.This recording features three recent chamber works: In Scenes from the Poet's Dreams, which composed for the performers who play it here. Light Refracted, which is a meditation on light and about and An Exaltation of Larks: The first time someone told me that a collection of Larks is called 'Exaltation', I immediately thought, 'What a sound an exaltation of larks must make!'--How to capture the beauty of the idea of exalting and singing? A string quartet seemed perfect! This disc marks the debut of the Lark Quartet on Bridge.
