Famous quotes containing the words orchestra and/or arrangements:
“As the artist
extends his world with

a run on the clarinet above the
bass tones of the orchestra ...”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“Autonomy means women defining themselves and the values by which they will live, and beginning to think of institutional arrangements which will order their environment in line with their needs.... Autonomy means moving out from a world in which one is born to marginality, to a past without meaning, and a future determined by others—into a world in which one acts and chooses, aware of a meaningful past and free to shape one’s future.”
—Gerda Lerner (b. 1920)
