Three Spanish Songs (for Soprano and Wind Ensemble) 管樂團

這首迴圈曲是對拉美詩人萊奧波爾多-盧戈內斯（Leopoldo Lugones）、魯比恩-達裡奧（Rube´n Dari´o）和何塞-馬蒂（Jose´Marti´）的三首對比鮮明的詩歌的改編。Olas Grises》利用令人回味的雨和海的意象來思考生與死的本質。作為一首抒情的、准抒情歌曲，這些意象通過開頭的打擊樂雨滴動機和貫穿整個樂章的呻吟聲線得以描繪。夜曲》是一段瘋狂的獨白，是一個擴展的歌劇場景。鋼琴和打擊樂為女高音的開場吟誦伴奏，隨後是一段超現實的詠歎調，其他樂曲也為之伴奏。隨後是兩個部分的重述。Suen~o Despierto》是一首短詩，描寫的是夢醒時的對比畫面。這首歌以搖籃曲《Nanita Nana》的片段為基礎，由三個變奏和一個尾聲組成，描繪了不同的畫面。三首西班牙歌曲》受邁克爾-海斯科克和密西根大學交響樂團委託創作。該作品的演奏會/排練版本貨號為 29638PV（35 美元）"

原文簡介:
This cycle is a setting of three contrasting poems by Latin-American poets Leopoldo Lugones, Rube´n Dari´o and Jose´ Marti´. "Olas Grises" uses evocative rain and sea imagery to meditate on the nature of life and death. Set as a lyrical, quasi-strophic song, these images are portrayed through the opening percussion raindrop motive and the moaning vocal line used throughout the movement. "Nocturno" is a frantic soliloquy set as an extended opera scene. The piano and percussion accompany the soprano in the opening recitative which is followed by a surreal aria accompanied by the rest of the ensemble. This is followed by a re-statement of both sections. "Suen~o Despierto" is a short poem about the contrasting images of a waking dream. Based on a fragment of the lullaby "Nanita Nana," heard in its entirety at the opening, the song is a set of three variations, followed by a coda, which portray these various images. Three Spanish Songs was commissioned by Michael Haithcock and the University of Michigan Symphony Band. The recital/rehearsal version of this piece is item number 29638PV ($35).
