Gavin Bryars & The Crossing
A Native Hill: the album
June 11, 2021

A pause from our en plein air Month of Moderns 2021 to revisit and celebrate 
A Native Hill – Gavin Bryars' gift to The Crossing, on words of Wendell Berry.

The physical, and absence of it, has become so magnified in the last year. Being with each other, touching, passing glasses and flowers from one hand to another. But, we’re getting there. Masks off outside, hope in the air, and a lot of people walking with a lighter step. 

The physical is returning and, with it, the release of the physical CD of Gavin Bryars' magnum opus, of which The Philadelphia Inquirer said,

“compact, relentlessly beautiful...entrancing intensity”

Our 24th album.
A Native Hill
on words of Wendell Berry
Listen to it on Spotify, Apple Music, or Tidal
