Focusing on the concept of landscape, this book delves into orchestral music that reflects both real and imagined spaces, natural forces, and the interplay between humans and wildlife. David Knight, a geographer and musician, connects diverse musical forms through themes like time, waterscapes, and extreme landscapes. By comparing classic European and Russian works with contemporary pieces from various countries, the author provides a unique perspective on how music relates to the environment, enhancing appreciation for a wide range of compositions.
