Arikara

詹姆斯-馬里帝茲（James Meredith）的這部作品靈感來自北達科他州的美國原住民阿里卡拉（Arikara，uh-RIK-a-RAH）部落，是一部令人回味無窮的作品，但沒有描繪任何具體事件或故事。樂曲以樸實無華的長笛獨奏開場，輔以異國情調的打擊樂，在進入速度更快、節奏更強的主部之前，先在管樂中進行了類似合唱的陳述。這首曲子融合了早期美國的意象和令人震撼的不協和音調，是一首有效而獨特的作品，對技術要求不高。長度4:50

原文簡介:
Inspired by the Arikara (uh-RIK-a-RAH) tribe of Native Americans based in North Dakota, this work by James Meredith is an evocative piece without portraying any specific event or story. Opening with a plaintive flute solo supported by an exotic percussion backdrop, the piece features a chorale-like statement in the winds before moving to the faster and more rhythmic main section. Mixing early American imagery with striking dissonances, this is an effective and unique offering with limited technical demands. Dur: 4:50
