Beyond the Stars

根據美國傳統的異形音旋律應許之地（首次發表於 19 世紀），超越星空捕捉到了早期美國教會音樂家的精神，他們通過聲樂和器樂表達了對生活和自由敬拜的熱情。樂曲以四個大變奏（快板、快板、慢板、快板-重奏）中的幾個小變奏為特色。作曲家為每一變奏都創造了新的主題素材，從原始的形音符旋律的三個獨立樂句中摘錄了主題。這是一部震撼人心的管樂作品。時長：約 6:20

原文簡介:
Based on the traditional American shaped-note melody The Promised Land (first published in the 1800s), Beyond the Stars captures the spirit of the early American church musicians who voiced their enthusiasm for life and the freedom of worship through both vocal and instrumental music. The music features several mini-variations wrapped up in four large variations (Fast, Fast, Slow, Fast-recapitulation). The composer has created new thematic material for each variation by excerpting motifs from three separate phrases of the original shaped-note melody. A stunning and powerful work for winds. Dur: c. 6:20
