Ancient Desert Drone

珀西-格兰杰鼓励在整部作品中使用单一音高的 "drone"（类似于格兰杰自己的作品The Immovable Do），这部作品就是献给格兰杰的。虽然该作品以其独特的模式和原始的节奏展现了东方的魅力，但考威尔本人表示并没有特别的创作意图。这首为乐队改编的曲目为管乐曲目增添了异国情调，深受欢迎。长度5:00

原文简介:
Ancient Desert Drone was composed for orchestra in 1940 at the request of Percy Grainger, who encouraged the idea of using a single pitch “drone” throughout the work (similar to Grainger's own The Immovable Do) and to whom the piece is dedicated. While the work suggests an Eastern charm with its distinctive mode and primitive rhythms, Cowell himself stated there was no particular programmatic intent. This transcription for band is an exotic and welcome addition to the repertoire for winds. Dur: 5:00

Recorded by the Trinity University Symphonic Wind Ensemble – James Worman, conductor
