Forever Free (Fanfare-Overture for Band) 号曲 序曲

为庆祝西弗吉尼亚州建州 200 周年，《永远自由》融入了该州音乐遗产中的本土元素，彰显了浓郁的庆祝精神。作品由三个乐章组成，标题取自该州的箴言 "Montani semper liberi"（"山地人永远自由"）。作品的开头和结尾由一首仪式性的大合唱统一起来，大合唱以州歌West Virginia Hills中的主题形象为基础。中段的抒情变奏曲与之形成鲜明对比，并伴有军乐风格的小鼓和定音鼓节奏，最后将所有主题元素融合在一起，形成欢快喜庆的结尾。时长4:25

原文简介:
Commissioned to celebrate the sesquicentennial of the state of West Virginia, Forever Free incorporates indigenous elements of the state's musical heritage, capturing a robust and celebratory spirit. Cast in a single movement in three sections, the title is inspired by the state motto, “Montani semper liberi” (“Mountaineeers forever free”). The work is unified at the outset and closing by a ceremonial fanfare that is based on thematic figures from the state song West Virginia Hills. A contrasting middle section features a lyric variant accompanied by a militaristic snare drum and timpani cadence, before all thematic elements are combined for the buoyant and festive conclusion. Dur: 4:25
