Everything about New York City was so extreme. A city full of stories and impression, the city of poems. The city is a place for diversity and contrasts, something I want to express through the five contrasting movements. Personally I have five real life experiences and stories to all of the movements, but my wish is that you, as the performer, make up your own stories to the music. Make the music come alive with your own interpretation and imagination. <em>Poems From a City<\/em> is the title work for my solo album from 2014 (Sweet Sound Records).<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-98769-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/Poems-From-a-City.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/Poems-From-a-City.mp3\">https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/Poems-From-a-City.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>Uno Alexander Vesje&#8217;s <em>Poems From a City<\/em> is an original work for solo pedal harp. &#8220;From abstract and contemporary use of the instrument, from folk music to blues, the suite describes different stories and impressions from the City with five very characteristic and contrasting movements,&#8221; says the composer. &#8220;This is an original composition that captures the imagination of the audience and lets the harpist show a diversity of skills and emotions on a high level.&#8221; Scroll down to listen and to read more notes from the composer.<\/p>\n<p>This piece is available as a PDF download for <strong>$11.90<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Length<\/em>: 17 pgs.<\/p>\n<p><em>Duration:<\/em> 17:00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":98776,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1527],"product_tag":[477],"class_list":["post-98769","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-uno-alexander-vesje","product_tag-harp-solo","pa_artist-vesje-uno-alexander","pa_composer-vesje-uno-alexander","pa_genre-contemporary","pa_genre-original","pa_harp-type-harp-pedals","pa_instrumentation-harp-solo","pa_level-advanced","first","instock","downloadable","virtual","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"exclude_global_add_ons":[],"addons":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/98769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=98769"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/98776"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=98769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=98769"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=98769"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=98769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
