Description:
During his brief lifetime, Sidney Lanier (1842-1881) was at one time or another a soldier, musician, teacher, lawyer, and a college professor. He is perhaps best remembered as a poet and for the middle school in Fairfax, Virginia which bears his name. Inspired by a favorite Lanier quote (Music is love in search of a word), Johnnie Vinson has fashioned a musical theme which captures the essence of this sentiment. With a bit of early American flavor, this main theme progresses through a series of contrasting variations, culminating in a grand and heroic closing statement.
