The Dakotas

梅洛迪-博伯的《達科他州》用三個樂章訪問了南北達科他州。在開篇樂章 "大平原 "中，雄渾的和絃、十六分音符跑音和高亢的旋律再現了這兩個州廣袤草原的壯麗景色。在第二樂章 "傳家寶和花邊 "中，抒情而富有表現力的旋律配以茂盛的伴奏，再現了 1861 年達科他州新成立時，家庭搬遷至此並留下珍貴物品時的失落感和思念之情。最後一個樂章《荒地騎兵》為組曲畫上了一個充滿活力的句號。這首生動的樂曲代表了南北達科塔州的荒地地區，展現了這一荒涼地區粗獷彪悍的馬匹和騎手的風采"

原文簡介:
Melody Bober’s The Dakotas visits both North and South Dakota in three movements. In the opening movement, "The Great Plains," majestic chords, sixteenth-note runs and a soaring melody recreate the sweeping vistas of this vast grassland area that is found in both states. In the second movement, "Heirlooms and Lace," a lyrical and expressive melody with lush accompaniment recreates the sense of loss and longing when families moved to the new Dakota Territory created in 1861 and left behind precious belongings. The final movement, "Badlands Rough Rider," brings the suite to an energetic close. The Badlands regions of North and South Dakota are represented by this lively piece that shows the style and flair of a rough and tough horse and rider in this desolate region.
