FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE MANNAHATTA PROJECT ................................ HUDSON RIVER QUINTET will tell a story - beginning at the mouth of the river and then moving to the shore and then up the river through forested areas. There is a 'transition to darkness', 'Industrial Storm' and '...and the Earth is our Spiritual House'. The work ends with a sense of unresolved hopefulness. ......................................................................

abstraction have helped me to perceive art. Ralph Waldo Emerson and Alfred North Whitehead... that
