About
Jennifer Higdon is one of the most distinguished composers working in America today, and her music is a perfect fit for the Nashville Symphony, which has long maintained a commitment to championing the country's most important voices. All Things Magestic is a four-movement suite which vividly captures the breathtaking beauty of the American landscape, and her wonderfully expressive concertos for viola and oboe bring out the unique textures and sonorities of these frequently overlooked solo instruments.

Awards and reviews
May 2017
[All Things Majestic] The piece conveys a marvellous sense of wonder in the vastness and minutiae of the natural world, from the soaring brass chorales of 'Teton Ridge' to the raindrop delicacy of Higdon's scoring for harp, strings and percussion in 'Cathedrals' - all performed with warmth and dynamism by the Nashville Symphony.

If you appreciate modern orchestral music that retains the principles of melody and rhythm, you will respond very positively to these very impressive scores.
