The Spheres

這部令人回味無窮的作品是作曲家為合唱團和絃樂團創作的彌撒曲《日出》的管樂版本。樂曲圍繞一個五音符的合唱主題展開，開頭部分採用了淡入/淡出的重疊效果，給人一種漂浮在太空中的感覺，仿佛被恒星和行星環繞。奧拉-吉耶羅（Ola Gjeilo）是樂隊界令人激動的新秀，他的作品令人驚歎。持續時間5:20

原文簡介:
This evocative work is a wind band version of the composer's mass for choir and string orchestra entitled Sunrise. The piece is built around a five-note chorale theme, and the opening section features an overlapping fade-in/fade-out effect meant to give a sense of floating in space, as if surrounded by stars and planets. A stunning composition from an exciting new voice in the band world – Ola Gjeilo. Dur: 5:20

Online audio sample was recorded by the Pacific Lutheran University Wind Ensemble – Dr. Edwin Powell, conductor
