Winter Music, a collection of Adams's essays, journal entries, and other writings is poetic and inspirational and delves into the environmental and cultural awareness that creates his reflective, almost spiritual, approach to music. The accompanying audio CD includes two previously unrecorded works by Adams.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdams's music explores natural phenomena from the songs of birds, to the complex nature of chaos, fractal geometry, and elemental noise. Similarly, his writings explore \"that region between place and culture, between environment and imagination,\" reflecting a philosophy of deep awareness that makes him one of the most original composers working today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Luther Adams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0819567426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780819567420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wesleyan University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 6.06w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniv PR Books for Public Libry\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005 pg. 61 - Recommended\/Special Interest\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2005 pg. 1325","brand":"John Luther Adams","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43990401417471,"sku":"9780819567420","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8af01b85-4be5-49d2-8b5a-12cb6e956214.jpg?v=1683304465","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/winter-music-john-luther-adams-9780819567420","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
