The Craftsmen

作曲家克利斯蒂安-布蒂耶（Christian Bouthier）創作這首三樂章作品的靈感來源於當地手工藝品市場上三位手工藝人充滿活力的活動。鐘錶匠在他的攤位上接待了許多好奇的參觀者。他耐心而自豪地展示他的精美鐘錶的精密工作，並讓所有參觀者敲響小鐘和大鐘。桶匠（木桶製造者）用最好的木料巧妙地製作出外觀精美、堅固耐用的木桶。從遠處就能聽到木桶敲擊的聲音。在最後一個樂章中，鐵匠鋪裡一片忙碌，因為當地的騎馬協會剛剛到來。許多馬匹都換上了新鞋。經驗豐富的鐵匠在鐵砧上將馬蹄鐵敲打成合適的形狀；現在，馬兒們可以在回來的路上興奮地小跑和奔騰了。這是音樂會樂隊曲目中令人著迷的新曲目"

原文簡介:
The energetic activities of three craftsmen at a local crafts market inspired the composer Christian Bouthier to write this work in three movements. The clockmaker gets many curious visitors at his stand. He patiently and proudly shows the precision work of his beautiful clocks and lets all of them tick the small ones and large ones. The cooper (barrel-maker) skillfully puts together fine-looking, sturdy barrels of the best types of wood. From afar, you can hear the cooper hammering. In the final movement, things are hectic at the blacksmith because the local horse-riding society has just arrived. Many horses are provided with new shoes. The experienced blacksmith hits the horseshoes into the proper shape on his anvil; now the horses can spiritedly trot and gallop on the way back. A fascinating new addition to the concert band repertoire.
