Drums of the Saamis

《薩米人的鼓聲》由加拿大阿爾比省梅迪辛哈特市的梅迪辛哈特音樂會樂隊協會委託創作。這首樂曲記錄了第一民族（原住民）和現代阿爾比文化的融合。開頭的部落鼓聲和模擬傳統木笛的縈繞旋律構成了兩個主題，是整首樂曲的基礎。這兩個元素在整首曲子中不斷發展、變化和增強，通過使用現代和絃和節奏，聽眾可以感受到現代阿爾伯塔的影響越來越大。最後，新與舊的結合完成了。這部極具震撼力的作品就像它的開頭一樣結束了；它重申了代表該地區音樂和歷史基礎的主題。長度5:00

原文簡介:
Drums of the Saamis was commissioned by the Medicine Hat Concert Band Society of Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. The piece chronicles the merger of the First Nation (first natives) and modern Albertan cultures. The opening tribal drums followed by the haunting melody simulating the traditional wooden flute comprise two themes that are the foundation for the entire piece. Both elements are developed, varied and enhanced throughout as the listener senses the increasing influence of modern day Alberta through the use of modern sounding chords and rhythms. By the end, the marriage of the old and the new is complete. This powerful work closes as it began; a restatement of themes representing the musical and historical foundation of the region. Dur: 5:00
