River of the Ancients

數千年來，尼羅河在動盪與輝煌中，始終是埃及這片土地上穩定而富有生命力的存在。邁克爾-斯威尼（Michael Sweeney）在描繪慶典舞蹈、令人敬畏的金字塔、入侵和征服外國軍隊時，暗示了這些遠古時代的聲音。在這部為年輕樂隊量身打造的作品中，簡短的獨奏和精緻的伴奏與大膽的主題和有力的打擊樂陳述相得益彰。節奏的活力貫穿始終，代表著這條生命之河穩定而持續的流動"

原文簡介:
For thousands of years, amid turmoil and grandeur, the Nile River has remained a stable and life-giving presence in the land of Egypt. Michael Sweeney hints at sounds from these ancient times as he depicts dances of celebration, awe-inspiring pyramids, invasions and conquest over foreign armies. Brief solos with delicate accompaniments counterbalance bold themes and powerful percussion statements in this substantial work for young bands. An element of rhythmic vitality is pervasive throughout, representing the steady and constant flow of this mighty river of life.
