Fanfares And Love Songs 號曲

扇子與情歌》受英國國家兒童銅管樂隊委託，於 2009 年 7 月 25 日演出。它的三個樂章對比了傳統銅管樂隊的外向和抒情特質。作品開篇的大合唱由整個短號聲部參與。第二樂章是反思性的情緒，以低音銅管樂沉思開始，在情緒達到高潮後又回落到一個遙遠的鋼琴和絃上。終曲是一段快速舞曲，最後重現了開頭的大合唱，以令人屏息的節奏結束

原文簡介:
Fanfares and Love Songs was commissioned by the National Children’s Brass Band of Great Britain for performance on 25th July 2009. Its three movements contrast the extrovert and lyrical qualities of the traditional brass band. The fanfare with which the work opens involves the whole cornet section. The second movement is reflective in mood, beginning somewhat pensively on muted brass, and building to an emotional climax before subsiding back to a distant pianissimo chord. The finale is a fast dance, which with a final recapitulation of the opening fanfare drives on to a breathless close. Brass Band Grade 4: Advanced Youth and 3rd Section Duration: 12 minutes
