Mount Rushmore

拉什莫爾山 "是向南達科他州基斯通附近拉什莫爾山花崗岩面上雕刻的雕塑致敬。這首組曲的每個樂章都代表了雕刻在山上的四位偉大總統中的一位。華盛頓狂歌》是一首獻給喬治-華盛頓的雄壯的狂歌，使用了雙音和絃，與抒情的旋律形成鮮明對比。代表亞伯拉罕-林肯的是《人民的名義》（Of the People），這首令人肅然起敬的樂曲展現了林肯緩慢而穩健的矜持，而這正是林肯領導風格的標誌。希歐多爾-羅斯福》（Theodore Roosevelt）使用了在鍵盤上上下移動的分解和絃，表現了希歐多爾-羅斯福粗獷、堅韌的個性。在《建築師》中，湯瑪斯-傑弗遜的才華在輕快流暢的旋律中熠熠生輝，其中不乏節拍的變化和抒情的瞬間"

原文簡介:
Mount Rushmore is a tribute to the sculpture carved into the granite face of Mount Rushmore, near Keystone, South Dakota. Each movement of this suite represents one of the four great presidents carved into the mountain. "Washington Fanfare" is a majestic fanfare to George Washington and uses bi-tonal chords that contrast with a lyrical melody. Abraham Lincoln is represented by "Of the People," a reverent piece showing the slow and steady reserve that was a hallmark of Lincoln's leadership. Using broken chords that move up and down the keyboard, the rough and tough personality of Theodore Roosevelt is featured in the rugged "The Rough Rider." In the "The Architect," Thomas Jefferson's brilliance shines through in a light and flowing melody that features meter changes and lyrical moments.
