Flambeaux 總譜

Flambeaux 是狂歡節期間一年一度夜間遊行的火炬手，在沒有路燈的年代，他們為花車提供唯一的照明。現代的火炬手繼承了這一傳統，他們手持沉重的石腦油燃料火炬，在街道上艱難前行。這首樂曲用火熱的顫音、奇異的打擊樂效果和模態旋律描繪了火把隊的行進過程，就像火把隊在漆黑的春夜裡蹣跚前行。學生將從節奏挑戰、一指低音和特殊效果的探索中獲益，而觀眾則將欣賞到這首樂曲生動的意象。Flambeaux 一定會為任何音樂會節目增添火熱的氣氛

原文簡介:
Flambeaux were the torchbearers in the annual night parades during Mardi Gras who provided the only illumination for the floats in the days before streetlights. Modern flambeaux carry on the tradition, trudging down the streets with their heavy naphtha-fueled torches. This piece depicts the procession of the flambeaux with fiery tremolo, exotic percussive effects, and modal melodies that lumber along like the torchbearers on a dark spring night. Students will benefit from exploring rhythmic challenges, low first-finger notes, and special effects, while audiences will enjoy the vivid imagery of this piece. Flambeaux is sure to add fire to any concert program.
