Blue Ridge Mountains

藍脊山脈》捕捉到了阿帕拉契脈從佐治亞州到賓夕法尼亞州這一段的美景。第一樂章 "天際線之路 "是一首華爾滋，抒情線條綿長。南塔哈拉河激流》是一首活潑的 6/8 拍遊記。音階式的數位和半音階部分描繪了筏子在激流中穿梭的情景。第三樂章 "布拉斯敦禿頭藍調"（Brasstown Bald Blues）節奏緩慢，描繪了佐治亞州最高的山峰布拉斯敦禿頭（Brasstown Bald）的悠閒景象。烏鴉岩布魯斯》讓人想起斯科特-喬普林（Scott Joplin）的布魯斯，但沒有左手的大幅跳躍。其切分音旋律帶領演奏者穿越與烏鴉岩相關的遠足小徑。最後一個樂章 "望遠鏡瀑布 "氣勢磅礴，既展現了夏季瀑布的強大能量，又表現了冬季閃閃發光的冰層"

原文簡介:
Blue Ridge Mountains captures the beauty of this section of the Appalachian Mountain range that stretches through the states from Georgia to Pennsylvania. The first movement, "Skyline Drive," is a waltz with long lyrical lines. "Nantahala River Rapids" is a lively excursion in 6/8 time. Scale-like figures and sections with chromatic scales depict rafters moving through the swirling rapids. The slow third movement, "Brasstown Bald Blues," gives a relaxed view of Brasstown Bald, the tallest mountain in Georgia. "Raven Rocks Rag" is reminiscent of a Scott Joplin rag without the large left-hand leaps. Its syncopated melodies lead performers through the hiking trails associated with Raven Rocks. The final movement, "Looking Glass Falls," is majestic and suggests both the powerful energy of the falls in the summer and the sparkling sheets of ice in the winter.
