The Flower of Cities
For violin, two guitars, double bass and percussion

Broadgate Sculptures
Tower Bridge - guitar 2 solo
Finsbury Circus - two guitars
London Bridge - violin solo
Bunhill Fields
Southwark Bridge - double bass solo
The Cries of London

Millennium Bridge - guitar 1 solo
Bartholomew's Fair
Blackfriars Bridge - percussion solo
Inner Temple Garden

The Flower of Cities was commissioned by John Williams to mark the 50th Anniversary of the City of London Festival. The title comes from William Dunbar's poetic tribute to England's capital: 'London, thou art the flower of cities all.'

More famous for its landmark buildings such as St. Paul's Cathedral and the Gherkin, the City of London is also home to around 200 areas of open space. The Flower of Cities explores this maze-like array of secret gardens, churchyards, and plazas, which is concealed within the densely developed heart of London. From Finsbury Circus (London's oldest public park) to Bunhill Fields (a burial ground for over 1,000 years), each space reveals its own story and unique contribution to the history of the City of London.

The six main movements (based on places) are linked by solo cadenzas representing the five City bridges over the Thames. In Broadgate Sculptures each player's part is characterised by a specific sculpture, for example, the violin part is a portrayal of Barry Flanagan's Leaping Hare on Crescent and Bell, and the monolithic bass part suggests Richard Serra's Fulcrum. All the melodies in The Cries of London are authentic street cries from 17th and 18th Century London. Bartholomew's Fair is an arrangement of an old Broadsheet Ballad dating from the 17th Century. The fair itself was a rowdy affair that ran annually from 1133 to 1855 in the Smithfield area. Inner Temple Garden provides a peaceful resolution, where the river meets the city.

This filmed performance, given by John Williams and Friends, took place at the Guildford International Music Festival on 10

这部作品是受约翰·威廉斯之约，英国作曲家高斯（Stephen Goss）为伦敦艺术节50周年创作。标题来自William Dunbar献给英格兰首都的诗《伦敦，所有城市的艺术之花》。

伦敦有着许多著名的地标性建筑，例如圣保罗大教堂和小黄瓜等，伦敦还是大约200多个开放空间之乡。城市之花这部作品，正如高斯的神秘花园系列作品一样，是在探索伦敦的一个个教堂庭院、高楼大厦，揭示伦敦发展的核心所在。从最古老的公园Finsbury Circus到超过1000多年的Bunhill Fields，每一个空间都展示了其自己的故事和对伦敦历史的独特贡献。

六个主要的乐章都基于地名而作，分别代表泰晤士河上的五座城市大桥。视频由约翰·威廉斯与朋友一起演奏，时间在2013年3月10日Guildford国际音乐艺术节期间演奏。吉他——John Williams and Craig Ogden；小提琴——Max Baillie；打击乐器——Tim Evans；双贝斯——Laurence Ungless
