Children of a Different Sun

這首令人歎為觀止的原創作品以豪邁的大合唱開場，靈感來自 15 世紀印加帝國的城堡馬丘比丘，特別是位於現在秘魯東南部的英蒂瓦塔納石，那裡的人們崇尚太陽崇拜。許多歷史學家將印加帝國稱為太陽之子。 樂曲以激烈、近乎狂熱的成分繼續，為對比鮮明的主題的積極互動奠定了基礎，旋律陳述被重音打擊樂陳述打斷。 在強烈的打擊樂伴奏下，樂曲進入了沉思和抒情的時刻，最後以大膽和令人滿意的結尾結束。(4:45)

原文簡介:
Opening with a heroic fanfare, this stunning original composition was inspired by the 15th century Inca citadel Machu Picchu and specifically the Intihuatana stone in what is now southeastern Peru where sun worship was favored. Many historians have come to refer to the Inca Empire as "Children of the Sun." The work continues with an intense, almost frenzied, component that sets the stage for an active interplay of contrasting themes featuring a melodic statement interrupted by accented percussive statements. A pensive and lush moment builds with strong percussion contribution to a bold and satisfying conclusion. Skillfully arranged by Roland Barrett. (4:45)
