River of the Ancients

数千年来，尼罗河在动荡与辉煌中，始终是埃及这片土地上稳定而富有生命力的存在。迈克尔-斯威尼（Michael Sweeney）在描绘庆典舞蹈、令人敬畏的金字塔、入侵和征服外国军队时，暗示了这些远古时代的声音。在这部为年轻乐队量身打造的作品中，简短的独奏和精致的伴奏与大胆的主题和有力的打击乐陈述相得益彰。节奏的活力贯穿始终，代表着这条生命之河稳定而持续的流动"

原文简介:
For thousands of years, amid turmoil and grandeur, the Nile River has remained a stable and life-giving presence in the land of Egypt. Michael Sweeney hints at sounds from these ancient times as he depicts dances of celebration, awe-inspiring pyramids, invasions and conquest over foreign armies. Brief solos with delicate accompaniments counterbalance bold themes and powerful percussion statements in this substantial work for young bands. An element of rhythmic vitality is pervasive throughout, representing the steady and constant flow of this mighty river of life.
