I Know a Lark's Nest: Lyrics
The lyrics from the song ‘I Know a Lark’s Nest’ refer to the landscape, National Park Thy, where the lark lives.
At the same time, the song contains a reminder – both in text and melody – that there are delicate things that we need to care for. In this context, it is we who have to take care of each other and especially the children who travel on the road on the way to the city’s Free School.
I Know a Lark's Nest: Melody
The text, which is performed directly on the roadway, draws in its graphic expression inspiration in the melody’s emphasis on the individual words, so that the words that are emphasised appear larger, while the words that are weak in the melody are smaller.
When you as a car driver on the way through the city drive across the words, the level difference of the text from the asphalt propagates to the car as small vibrations, which together with the visual impression makes you aware that you are on your way through a city and should slow down.
