A Festival Chime

古斯塔夫-霍爾斯特（Gustav Holst）於 1916 年創作了作品 34（《節日合唱三部曲》）的第三樂章，最初是為鋼琴、管弦樂隊或軍樂隊的合唱譜寫的。旋律是一首十九世紀的威爾士民謠，大多數人都知道它是讚美詩曲調《聖德尼奧》（St. Denio），由英國詩人柯利弗德-巴克斯（Clifford Bax）作詞。在 3/4 拍的樂曲中，霍爾斯特將這一令人愉悅的主題進行了自由編曲，融入了他的原始樂譜元素，並加入了額外的素材，以提高當代音樂會樂隊和觀眾的音樂興趣。正如標題所暗示的那樣，風鈴是這一編曲中不可或缺的一部分；不過，如果沒有合適的樂器，曲目說明中也提供了其他選擇。這首音樂作品提供了多種教學和表演機會，非常適合初學音樂會樂隊。(2:00)

原文簡介:
The third movement of Opus 34 (Three Festival Choruses), which Gustav Holst penned in 1916, was originally scored for chorus with piano, orchestra, or military band. The easily recognized melody is a nineteenth century Welsh ballad, known to most as the hymn tune "St. Denio," set to the words of English poet, Clifford Bax. In 3/4, this characteristically delightful Holst theme has been freely arranged to incorporate elements of his original score with additional material included to heighten musical interest for contemporary concert bands and audiences alike. As the title implies, chimes are an integral part of this arrangement; however, there are alternate options provided in the program notes if a suitable instrument is unavailable. This musical setting is complete with a variety of teaching and performance opportunities and a perfect fit for beginning concert bands. (2:00)
