Yosemite Splendor

優勝美地輝煌》的三個樂章捕捉了位於加利福尼亞州內華達山脈的優勝美地國家公園的三個奇觀之美。第一樂章 "在優勝美地瀑布的薄霧中 "使用琶音表現水流下降和薄霧升起的動態。樂曲的旋律和伴奏之間的互動貫穿全曲。通過在多個調式（G 大調、降 E 大調、C 小調和降 B 大調）中發展類似的模式，不斷變化的調號為學生帶來了興趣。半圓頂戲劇》是一首探戈，表現的是徒步攀登半圓頂岩層的情景。音樂以半音階的色彩和戲劇性的切分節奏表現了登上這一著名地標山頂的艱難跋涉。神秘的馬里波薩樹林》以平緩的 3/4 拍，反映了馬里波薩樹林中古老的巨型紅杉樹。悅耳的冥想音型為學生提供了專注于樂句和色彩的機會。變化的調號帶來了更多的音樂挑戰，而鋼琴式樣則讓人手感舒適。聯邦音樂節 2020-2024 年精選"

原文簡介:
The three movements of Yosemite Splendor capture the beauty of three wonders found in Yosemite National Park, located in California's Sierra Nevada mountains. The first movement, "In the Mist of Yosemite Falls," uses arpeggiated figures to convey the motion of water as it descends and the mist as it rises. The spirit of the piece flows, in alla breve time, with a majestic quality, while interplay between melody and accompaniment continues throughout the piece. Changing key signatures provide interest for the student by developing similar patterns in a number of keys (G major, E-flat major, C minor, and B-flat major). "Half Dome Drama" is a tango representing a hike to the rock formation known as Half Dome. The precarious trek to the top of this famous landmark is captured musically with chromatic colorations and dramatic syncopated rhythms. In a gentle 3/4 meter, "The Mystical Mariposa Grove" reflects the ancient giant sequoia trees in Mariposa Grove. Pleasantly meditative patterns provide opportunities for students to focus on phrasing and color. Changing key signatures present additional musical challenges, while pianistic patterns lay comfortably in the hands. A Federation Festivals 2020-2024 selection.
