The image of the title comes from a recorded statement by artist, Arnie Bittleman – “I found a feather while walking down a road. The feather, if you look closely, has a landscape, a cloudscape in it” (Cambridge, NY, 1970). The piece is in one continuous movement with three main sections — cloudscape (fast, light, woodwind-dominated), landscape (slow, string-dominated), and mountain-scape (fast, rhythmic, brass and percussion to the fore). “Walking” passages (with hints of NY folksongs) link the sections. – HT
