Thunderbolt (A P-47 Tribute)

P-47 Thunderbolt 是第二次世界大戰中的工兵飛機之一，是歷史上生產量最大的單活塞發動機戰鬥機。這首戲劇性的樂隊序曲以音樂的形式講述了這架傳奇飛機的故事。(作曲家的父親曾在 1944 年的戰爭中駕駛過 P-47）。開頭的英雄氣概與中間緩慢的反思部分形成鮮明對比，然後回到快速的主題和激動人心的結尾。這首序曲音色優美，配樂精湛，是參加比賽或音樂節的最佳選擇。長度4:40

原文簡介:
The P-47 Thunderbolt was one of the workhouse airplanes of World War II, becoming the most produced, and also largest single piston engine fighter plane in history. This dramatic overture for band musically tells the story of this legendary plane. (The composer's father piloted a P-47 during the war in 1944). The opening heroic strain is contrasted with a slow, reflective middle section before returning to the fast theme and exciting conclusion. A terrific-sounding and expertly scored overture, this will make a perfect choice for contest or festival. Dur: 4:40
