On the Wings of Swallows

真正的希望是迅速的，像燕子的翅膀一样飞翔"--出自莎士比亚的《理查德三世》。迈克尔-斯威尼（Michael Sweeney）的这首戏剧性的新作品是一首以通篇作曲方式创作的多风格作品。乐曲通过沉思的开头音调、推动性的主旋律和以萦绕心头的中音萨克斯独奏为特色的慢板发展，最终在铜管乐的声明中达到高潮。这是一首令人欣慰和感动的作品"

原文简介:
“True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings” - from Shakespeare's Richard III. This dramatic new work from Michael Sweeney is a multi-styled piece written in a through-composed fashion. Developing through pensive opening sonorities, a driving main theme, and a slow section featuring a haunting alto sax solo, the piece ultimately builds to a climatic brass statement. A rewarding and moving composition.
