Azure Hills

蔚藍山丘》是一首抒情民謠，為樂隊提供了許多表現機會。長笛輕快地奏出主題，隨後由小號奏出另一樂句，並在伴奏中加入紋理。木管樂器在第二段陳述中加入了一些有趣的和聲，最後在木管樂器的伴奏下表現出極富表現力的旋律。一段激動人心的變奏和發展導致了一個非常有效和高潮迭起的結尾，旋律動機在各聲部之間傳遞，樂曲在安靜和反思中落下帷幕"

原文簡介:
Azure Hills is a lyrical ballad that presents the band with many opportunities for expressive playing. The theme is lightly presented by the flutes, then followed by another statement in the trumpets with added textures in the accompaniment. The second statement features some interesting harmonies by the woodwinds before leading into a very expressive final presentation of the melody with an added woodwind countermelody. A stirring variation and development leads to a very effective and climactic ending where melodic motives are passed from section to section as the piece winds down to a quiet, reflective conclusion.
