The Bluegrass State

马莎-米尔的《蓝草之州》用三个乐章访问了肯塔基州的三个古老地标。第一站是 "湖间地"（Land Between the Lakes），以抒情的旋律和优美的和声在宁静的音乐环境中重现。下一站是猛犸洞穴，这个神秘而奇妙的地方通过舒展的线条和宽广的和弦表现出来。最后一站是丘吉尔唐斯（Churchill Downs）和肯塔基德比（Kentucky Derby），通过精确的大合唱节奏和充满活力的主题，我们可以看到和听到这场一年一度比赛的精彩场面。在本乐章的引子中，《我的肯塔基老家》（My Old Kentucky Home）的旋律在赛马开始之前给人一种怀旧的感觉。共 12 页"

原文简介:
Martha Mier’s The Bluegrass State visits three venerable Kentucky landmarks in three movements. The first stop is Land Between the Lakes, recreated in a peaceful musical setting with a lyrical melody and lush harmonies. Next is Mammoth Cave, a mysterious and wondrous place represented through sweeping lines and broad chords. The final stop is Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby, where the excitement of this annual race is seen and heard through the use of precise rhythm of the fanfare and an energetic theme. A hint of My Old Kentucky Home in the introduction of this movement brings a nostalgic touch before the action of the horse race begins. 12 pages.
