Today Is the Gift

薩繆爾-哈佐於 2005 年受備受讚譽的中西部診所委託創作了這首令人興奮的作品，展現了作曲家對管樂隊一如既往的新穎手法和獨特視角。這首作品是為銅管樂和打擊樂譜寫的，木管樂器演奏者用搖蛋器伴奏東非吟唱/歌唱，是對 50 多年前羅莎-帕克斯及其為爭取民權所做鬥爭的紀念。現在還提供一套木管樂器的輔助部分（HL04003012），可以用傳統的交響樂隊樂器演奏這首戲劇性的音樂。長度4:00

原文簡介:
Commissioned by the acclaimed Midwest Clinic in 2005, this exciting work by Samuel Hazo demonstrates the composer's continued fresh approach and unique vision for wind bands. Scored for brass and percussion with woodwind players contributing East African chant/singing along with egg shakers, this composition is a tribute to the memory of Rosa Parks and her struggles on behalf of civil rights more than 50 years ago. An auxiliary set of woodwind parts is now available (HL04003012), allowing this dramatic music to be performed by a traditional symphonic band instrumentation. Dur: 4:00
難度: 4
