Michael Nyman

Where the City's Ceaseless Crowds

Where The City's Ceaseless Crowds is a piece composed for Trumpet and Piano for an experimental 1920 film, 'Manhatta', which acclaimed composer Michael Nyman wrote in 2003. The title of the piece comes from a poem by Walt Whitman called 'Mannahatta', which formed the basis of the experimental film, directed by photographer Paul Strand and painter Charles Sheeler, intended to explore the relationship between film and photography, through a love letter to New York.
