@NounsAsArt ID: Screenshot of a comment on a YouTube video of The Lark Ascending. Text reads: Soon after Hilary began her solo violin career, I heard her give an NPR interview. At that time she had just performed this piece with the St Martins in the Fields. 1/

@NounsAsArt A group of older men politely asked Hilary, "Have you ever seen a lark? A lark ascending?" Her answer was no. So, one day when no rehearsing nor performing was scheduled, they took her to a hillside field and she saw a lark ascending. 2/

@NounsAsArt Larks ascend like our birds of prey ascend, only larks nest in meadows, not in trees. Take off is slow and low, flying in circles until an updraft is captured under the wings and then up to the highest heights. 4/4
