Belle of the Ball for Band 總譜

與裡洛伊-安德森的大多數作品一樣，《舞會美女》輕快、活潑，沒有衝突或不和諧。安德森認為這首曲子是維也納華爾滋傳統在現代美國的復興或振興。儘管如此，主旋律聽起來與施特勞斯的華爾滋頗為不同，但柴可夫斯基的聲音卻在其俏皮、幻想的特徵中顯露無遺。旋律富有節奏感，以短音符組的形式出現，從兩個音符開始，然後是三個音符，接著進一步擴展；音樂優雅地滑行。中間部分是主題的一個令人愉悅的變奏，安德森輕柔的鐘聲音色傳遞出一種俏皮天真。有樂隊版本和原始管弦樂配樂可供選擇"

原文簡介:
Like most of Leroy Anderson’s efforts, "Belle of the Ball" is light, effervescent, and devoid of conflict or disharmony. Anderson looked upon the piece as a modern-day American revival -- or revitalization -- of the Viennese waltz tradition. Having said that, the main theme sounds rather unlike a Strauss waltz, but the voice of Tchaikovsky is evident in its playful, fantasy-like character. The melody is rhythmic and comes in short groups of notes, beginning with two notes, then three, then expanding further; the music skates along elegantly. The middle section features a delightful variation on the theme, in which Anderson’s gentle belled sonorities impart a playful innocence. Versions for band and the original orchestral scoring are available.
