Eternal Vigilance (The Long Brave Line)

这部重要的乐队作品是美国空军学院乐队、美国海岸警卫队乐队、美国军事学院乐队和美国海军学院乐队合作的成果，其标题取自托马斯-杰斐逊的名言 "永恒的警惕是自由的代价"，以及西点军校校训 "长长的灰线 "的变体。乐曲开篇向为国捐躯的先烈们致敬，主题庄严而崇高，在接近结尾时再次出现。作品的主体是一系列类似进行曲的主题和惯用语片段，最后以一首辉煌的全乐队大合唱达到高潮。在重述 "高贵 "主题之后，激昂的尾声将音乐推向高潮。时间：8:30（5 级）（E.B. Marks）

原文简介:
The result of a collaborative commission by the U.S. Air Force Academy Band, the U.S. Coast Guard Band, the U.S. Military Academy Band and the U.S. Naval Academy Band, this major work for band takes its title from a quote attributed to Thomas Jefferson, “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty,” and a variation of the West Point motto, “The Long Gray Line.” Opening with a tribute to those who have gone before in service to our country, a solemn, noble theme is presented that reappears near the end of the composition. The main body of the work is a series of march-like themes and idiomatic fragments culminating in a glorious full-band fanfare. Following a restatement of the “noble” theme, a stirring coda brings the music to a climactic close. Dur: 8:30 (Grade 5) (E.B. Marks)
