Additional info/contents	'Pacific Heights' bekam seinen Titel von dem berühmten gleichnamigen historischen Viertel der kalifornischen Metropole San Francisco. Dieser Stadtteil, der im späten 19. Jahrhundert besiedelt wurde, verkörpert mit seinem Blick auf die Bucht und die Golden Gate Bridge das San Francisco Hollywoods. Während die Musik nicht programmatisch gedacht ist, fängt sie doch einige der großen Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt ein: die majestätische Golden Gate Bridge, die felsige Insel, die das berüchtigste Gefängnis des Landes beheimatet sind ebenso Teil des Stücks wie die vielen Stimmungen der Stadt, die für ihre Vielfalt bekannt ist – außerdem Flower-Power, die steil fließenden Hügel, die Erdbeben und die kühlen Winde, die vom Ozean her wehen. Pacific Heights draws its title from the famous historic San Francisco neighborhood of the same name. Established in the late 1800's this area of the city embodies Hollywood's vision of San Francisco with its views of the Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. While the music is not intended to be programmatic, it captures some of the great sites of the city: the majestic Golden Gate Bridge, the rocky island which is home to our country's most infamous prison, as well as the many moods of this city known for its diversity, flower-power, steep rolling hills, earthquakes, and chilly winds off the ocean.
