The Shining Spires of Zenith

Description

Music for organ solo after Babbitt, the 1922 novel by Sinclair Lewis.

The towers of Zenith aspired above the morning mist;
austere towers of steel and cement and limestone,
sturdy as cliffs and delicate as silver rods.
They were neither citadels nor churches,
but frankly and beautifully office-buildings.

This is the first in a series of three known as the Babbitt cycle:
The Shining Spires of Zenith
Garden Party
Babbitt, the Man
