The park design is inspired by Bach's First Suite for Unaccompanied Cello, with each dance movement within the suite corresponding to a different section of the garden.
The Prelude section is described as an undulating riverscape with curves and bends, representing the feeling of a flowing river through which visitors can stroll.
The Courante section is described as a swirling path through a wildflower meadow, with lush grasses and brightly-colored perennials that attract birds and butterflies.
Internationally renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma collaborated with landscape designer Julie Moir Messervy to interpret in nature the music of Bach’s first suite.
James Douglas Fleck led the private side of a public/private collaboration for the creation of the Music Garden.
