Lament and Tribal Dances 輓歌 舞曲

邁克爾-斯威尼（Michael Sweeney）受愛荷華州樂隊指揮協會委託，創作了這首充滿活力的作品，分為三個對比鮮明的部分。開頭的 "哀歌 "以平實的號角旋律和寬廣的和聲為特色。隨後，情緒轉入節奏強烈的舞蹈，使用了不同尋常的模進音階。在最後部分，長笛換成了木笛，而打擊樂的節奏則將這首華麗的樂曲推向了戲劇性的結尾。約翰-莫斯是當今最優秀的青年樂隊作曲家之一，他的作品令人滿意

原文簡介:
Commissioned by the Iowa Bandmasters Association, this dynamic work from Michael Sweeney is written in three contrasting sections. The opening “Lament” features a plaintive horn melody and expansive harmonies. The mood then shifts to an intensely rhythmic dance using an unusual modal scale. In the final section, the flutes switch to recorders and a driving percussion ostinato figure helps propel this magnificent piece to a dramatic ending. A rewarding and satisfying work from one of today's best composers for young bands.
