This absolutely marvelous work by Jennifer Higdon, "City Scape" is a piece in three movements that paints an image of where Higdon grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. Higdon wanted to invoke certain images and aspects of Atlanta. When asked by a musician if she was trying to express a sidewalk in her music, she commented that there was not a precise image in her piece. Instead, there were "bustle of traffic and intensity of moving down the street", giving an overall image.
