At Dawn They Slept

杰伊-博库克的这首新作在珍珠港首演，以音乐的形式纪念了那个将我国带入二战的决定性日子。以木管乐器优美流畅的旋律开场，在孤独的号角声中，这一天开始了，但不祥的暗示预示着接下来的混乱。乐曲运用别出心裁的配乐质地、不协和音和打击乐描绘了进攻的过程。在最后一段中，开头的旋律再次出现，与强烈的节奏并置，让人对未来充满希望。这是当今最有才华的作曲家之一的有力音乐宣言！

原文简介:
Premiered at Pearl Harbor, this new work from Jay Bocook is a musical remembrance of that fateful day that launched our country into WWII. Opening with a beautiful and flowing melody featuring the woodwinds, the day begins with a lone bugler but with ominous undertones foretelling the chaos to follow. The attack is depicted using inventive scoring textures, dissonances and percussion. In the final segment, the opening melody returns juxtaposed over a strong rhythmic pulse in a hopeful look to the future. A powerful musical statement from one of today's most gifted composers!
