In the Valley of the Sun

受太陽城（亞利桑那州）音樂會樂隊的委託，《在太陽穀》採用了三部序曲的形式，以歡快而富有節奏感的西部風格主題開場。緩慢的中段主題以流暢而棱角分明的旋律描繪了亞利桑那州沙漠的美景。在第三段中，西部風情再次出現，為整部作品畫上了一個激動人心、催人奮進的句號。(3.5 級）持續時間5:50

原文簡介:
Commissioned by the Sun City (AZ) Concert Band, In the Valley of the Sun is composed in a three-part overture format opening with a rollicking and rhythmic Western-style theme. The slow middle theme musically depicts the beauty of the Arizona desert with a flowing, yet angular melody. In the third section, the Western flavor returns to draw the work to an exciting and driving conclusion. (Grade 3.5) Dur: 5:50
難度: 3.5
