The Great Lakes

五大湖 "以三個音樂風格不同的樂章展示了世界上最大的淡水湖群。組曲以《輕快的風》拉開序幕，樂曲的調性從小調到大調，再從大調到小調，就像湖泊上的天氣變化一樣迅速。第二樂章《寧靜的水》描繪了在這些壯麗湖泊上航行的美妙世界。樂章從靜謐開始，逐漸描繪出水上燦爛一天的激動心情。最後一個樂章 "狂怒的波濤 "用三連音琶音和八度音重現了這些湖泊（也被稱為內陸海）上突如其來的風暴的聲音和力量，為組曲畫上了一個驚心動魄的句號。

原文簡介:
The Great Lakes showcases the world’s largest group of freshwater lakes in three musically diverse movements. The suite opens with "Brisk Winds," a piece that changes keys from minor to major and back again as swiftly as the weather changes on the lakes. "Serene Waters," the second movement, paints a picture of the wonderful world of sailing on these magnificent lakes. Beginning quietly, the movement builds to depict the excitement of a glorious day on the water. The final movement, "Waves of Fury," brings the suite to a thrilling close using triplet arpeggios and octaves to recreate the sound and force of a sudden storm on these lakes that also are known as "the inland seas."
