Lanier Variants 詠唱調

西德尼-拉尼爾（Sidney Lanier，1842-1881 年）在其短暫的一生中，曾經是一名軍人、音樂家、教師、律師和大學教授。人們對他印象最深的可能是詩人和以他名字命名的維吉尼亞州費爾法克斯中學。約翰尼-文森受拉尼爾最喜歡的一句話（"音樂是尋找一個詞的愛"）的啟發，創作了一個音樂主題，抓住了這一情感的精髓。主旋律帶有一點早期美國風味，通過一系列對比鮮明的變奏，最後以宏偉而豪邁的結束語結束。持續時間4:50

原文簡介:
During his brief lifetime, Sidney Lanier (1842-1881) was at one time or another a soldier, musician, teacher, lawyer, and a college professor. He is perhaps best remembered as a poet and for the middle school in Fairfax, Virginia which bears his name. Inspired by a favorite Lanier quote (“Music is love in search of a word”), Johnnie Vinson has fashioned a musical theme which captures the essence of this sentiment. With a bit of early American flavor, this main theme progresses through a series of contrasting variations, culminating in a grand and heroic closing statement. Dur: 4:50
