Arlington (Where Giants Lie Sleeping)

這首作品是為了向埋葬在華盛頓特區附近阿靈頓國家公墓的一代又一代美國軍人致敬而創作的，具有強烈的感情色彩，是任何紀念場合或愛國音樂會的最佳選擇。台下的小號宣佈了開場主題，隨後是令人肅然起敬的樂曲和莊嚴的《我的祖國，屬於你》（My Country, 'Tis of Thee）。樂曲逐漸發展和增強，在熟悉的讚美詩我們祖先的神中達到了一個英雄般的高潮，然後隨著台下小號的返回，樂曲又回到了寧靜和反思的情緒中。持續時間7:30

原文簡介:
Composed as a tribute to generations of American servicemen and women buried at Arlington National Cemetery near Washington, D.C., this powerful and emotional work is a fitting addition to any memorial occasion or patriotic concert. Offstage trumpets announce the opening theme followed by reverent strains and a solemn statement of My Country, 'Tis of Thee. The piece develops and builds gradually, reaching a heroic climax with the familiar hymn God of Our Fathers before returning to a quiet and reflective mood as the offstage trumpets return. Dur: 7:30
難度: 4
