Belle of the Ball for Band 管樂團 總譜

與裡洛伊-安德森的大多數作品一樣，《舞會蓓蕾》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、夢幻般的特徵中顯露無遺。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，安德森輕柔的音色傳遞出一種俏皮的天真。馬克-羅傑斯（Mark Rogers）獨家製作的這一南方樂隊版本將安德森迷人的作品重新呈現給新一代聽眾"

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. This exclusive Southern band edition by Mark Rogers reintroduces Anderson's enchanting work to new generations of audiences.
