At Dawn They Slept

傑伊-博庫克的這首新作在珍珠港首演，以音樂的形式紀念了那個將我國帶入二戰的決定性日子。以木管樂器優美流暢的旋律開場，在孤獨的號角聲中，這一天開始了，但不祥的暗示預示著接下來的混亂。樂曲運用別出心裁的配樂質地、不協和音和打擊樂描繪了進攻的過程。在最後一段中，開頭的旋律再次出現，與強烈的節奏並置，讓人對未來充滿希望。這是當今最有才華的作曲家之一的有力音樂宣言！

原文簡介:
Premiered at Pearl Harbor, this new work from Jay Bocook is a musical remembrance of that fateful day that launched our country into WWII. Opening with a beautiful and flowing melody featuring the woodwinds, the day begins with a lone bugler but with ominous undertones foretelling the chaos to follow. The attack is depicted using inventive scoring textures, dissonances and percussion. In the final segment, the opening melody returns juxtaposed over a strong rhythmic pulse in a hopeful look to the future. A powerful musical statement from one of today's most gifted composers!
