Appalachian Dreams

根據兩首在美國歷史早期流行於南部阿巴拉契亞地區的英國民歌--《去波士頓》和《士兵，你不娶我嗎？在一段寧靜祥和的開場之後，一段大膽有力的陳述引出了如夢如幻、令人著迷的部分。在打擊樂的有力伴奏下，樂曲的結尾鏗鏘有力。這是一首史詩般的作品，是交響樂團作品中的矚目之作。(4:45)

原文簡介:
Based on material borrowed from two English folk songs that were popular in the Southern Appalachians during the early years of American history---"Going to Boston" and "Soldier, Won't You Marry Me?". After a very peaceful and tranquil opening, a bold, powerful statement leads to a dreamlike, mesmerizing section. With a powerful percussion contribution, the driving conclusion resounds. An epic work, this is a striking addition to symphonic band literature. (4:45)
