Masque 面具

面具节（Masque，Masquerade 的缩写）被历史学家定义为'一种狂欢，在这种狂欢中，木乃伊人或戴面具的人举着火把来到节日大厅，号召同伴们跳舞和掷骰子'。赫斯凯斯的这部《面具舞剧》描绘了这种戏剧性舞蹈的混乱场面。主旋律非常华丽，经常出现在背景中。乐曲的形式是简单的回旋-三重-回旋曲。丰富多彩的配乐（高音管独奏、小号和圆号独奏与饱满的轻快小调交替出现）加上一抹野性，可以挑逗演奏者和听众，让他们稍稍放松一下！

原文简介:
A Masque (short for Masquerade) has been defined by Historians as 'A revel in which Mummers or masked folk come with torches blazing into the festive hall and call upon the company to dance and dice' . The chaos of this dramatic dance is depicted in this 'Masque' by Hesketh. The main theme is bravura and is often present, in the background. The form of the piece is a simple scherzo-trio-scherzo. Colourful scoring (upper wind solos, trumpet and horn solos alternating with full bodied tuttis) with a dash of wildness may tease both player and listener to let their hair down a little! Masque has been transcribed for wind band by Kenneth Hesketh from his 'Scherzo for Orchestra', commissioned by the National Children's Orchestra in 1987.
