Prelude and Pursuit 前奏曲

约翰-巴恩斯-钱斯于 1960 年在北卡罗来纳州格林斯博罗的一所高中驻校期间创作了他的里程碑式的乐队作品《咏叹调与舞蹈》（Incantation and Dance）。受联合县（北卡罗来纳州）荣誉乐队的委托，Prelude and Pursuit向这部重要作品及其与北卡罗来纳州的渊源致敬。单簧管奏出的萦绕心头的圣咏式主题为慢板部分定下了基调。与钱斯的作品相似，快板部分一开始由打击乐器引入主题元素，随后由管乐接上并发展。加强的节奏元素以及精心控制的随机演奏效果，营造出整体的兴奋感和期待感。主题贯穿了乐队的各个部分，最后，开头的圣歌主题在接近尾声时出现了短暂的戏剧性亮相。作为年轻演奏家的教学工具，Prelude and Pursuit 也为演奏者提供了有益的演奏体验。持续时间4:50

原文简介:
John Barnes Chance composed his landmark work for band, Incantation and Dance, in 1960 while in residence at the high school in Greensboro, North Carolina. Commissioned by the Union County (NC) Honor Band, Prelude and Pursuit pays tribute to this important composition and its North Carolina connection. A haunting chant-like theme played by the clarinets sets the tone for the slow section. Similar to Chance's work, the fast section begins with percussion instruments introducing thematic elements later picked up and developed by the winds. Intensifying rhythmic elements, as well as carefully controlled random playing effects, contribute to an overall sense of excitement and anticipation. Themes are woven throughout various sections of the band before the opening chant motif makes a brief dramatic appearance near the end. A great teaching tool for young players, Prelude and Pursuit also provides a rewarding performance experience. Dur: 4:50
