Big Sky Montana

蒙大拿州的大天空 "包含三首乐曲，充满想象力地描绘了这个西部州。闪耀山脉之地》采用多种调性变化，展现了蒙大拿州各种山脉的雄伟壮观。学生面临的挑战包括左手的大伸展、一些重音和切分节奏。天空之歌》描绘了鸟儿的形象，高音区有许多快速的旋律装饰音。优美的旋律令人心情舒畅，而附点和琶音则增加了乐曲的变化。在最后一首乐曲《小比格霍恩之战》中，快速的八分音符和频繁变化的节拍营造出活泼的气氛，令人联想起美军与美洲土著部落之间的著名冲突。一段延长的多和弦创造出不和谐的冲突和声，捕捉到了戏剧性的战斗场面。中段依然保持着节奏，给人一种更加流畅的感觉。小比格霍恩之战》和《光辉山脉之地》是联邦音乐节 2016-2020 年的选曲"

原文简介:
Big Sky Montana contains three pieces that imaginatively depict this western state. "Land of the Shining Mountains" uses multiple key changes to display the majesty of Montana's various mountain ranges. Challenges for the student include large reaches in the left hand, a few accents, and syncopated rhythms. "Song of the Sky" portrays birds with many quick melodic ornaments in the upper register. The graceful melody is relaxing, and accidentals and arpeggios add variety. In the final piece, "Battle of Little Bighorn," fast eighth notes and frequently changing meter create a lively mood, evoking a famous conflict between the US army and Native American tribes. An extended section of polychords creates dissonant, clashing harmonies, which capture the dramatic battle. The middle section, which remains rhythmic, has a more fluid feel. "Battle of Little Bighorn" and "Land of the Shining Mountains" are Federation Festivals 2016-2020 selections.
