Shelter Island

Shelter Island》是《East Coast Pictures》的第一乐章。它描绘的是纽约以东几小时车程的谢尔特岛本身。夏天，这里是人潮涌动的旅游胜地；而到了冬天，这里则冷冷清清，在海雾和滂沱大雨的笼罩下，勇敢地面对波涛汹涌的大西洋的侵袭。这幅'画'是对庇护岛冬季周末的美好回忆"

原文简介:
Shelter Island is the first movement of East Coast Pictures. It is a depiction of the Shelter Island itself, a few hours drive east of New York. In the summer it becomes a crowded tourist trap; but in the winter it is gloriously deserted and bravely faces the onslaught of the turbulent Atlantic, shrouded in sea mists and driving rain. This ‘picture’ is a fond memory of a winter weekend on Shelter Island. East Coast Pictures was commissioned by the British Youth Wind Orchestra with funds from the National Westminster Bank plc. These three short ‘pictures’ were inspired by several visits to a small part of the American East Coast, an area that provides great extremes in the geography and the people.
