{"product_id":"blackford-richard-nadia-anjuman-songs-study-books","title":"Blackford,richard - Nadia Anjuman Songs Study - Books","description":"Antoni Gaud's monumental temple La Sagrada Familia is a universe within a building. It's mass of stone and metal is bathed in coloured light diffused from dazzling stained-glass windows. The colossal structure is supported by great pillars inspired by the shapes of tree trunks that reinforce the impression of a spiritual forest. Around the main access points to the basilica are three great facades: Nativity, Passion and Glory. Each is a visual world unto itself, stylistically apart yet united by Gaud's grandiose vision. These three facades are the inspiration of my three-movement A Gaud Symphony, a sequence of narratives. The visual journey, from the representational to the abstract, is something I also tried to mirror in the music. When I visited La Sagrada Familia in October 2019 there was still scaffolding to support the work on the remaining towers. Whereas A Gaud Symphony is inspired by that unique building, I hope that my musical structure can stand alone as an homage to Gaud in it's own right. - Richard Blackford","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52238569472231,"sku":"NIM1173C","price":51.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.triathletestore.com\/products\/blackford-richard-nadia-anjuman-songs-study-books","provider":"Triathlete Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
