Celtic Voyage

這首樂曲的靈感來源於愛爾蘭移民的諸多苦難，給人們帶來了對新世界、新生活和第二次機會的希望。樂曲開始時的背景是海洋的聲音（由海洋鼓演奏），長笛獨奏奏出主旋律。隨著樂曲的發展，主題表現了幾個場景：第一，由於當時的饑荒和苦難，人們知道生活需要改變；第二，移民開始遷往美國；第三，抵達美國並看到自由女神雕像，這是樂曲的高潮時刻；最後，以樂曲開頭的相同想法結束，但現在是對愛爾蘭的回憶和嚮往"

原文簡介:
Inspired by the many hardships of the Irish immigrants, this piece brings hope of a new world, a new lease on life and a second chance. The piece begins with the sound of the ocean in the background (played by the ocean drum) while a solo flute plays the main theme. As the piece develops the theme represents several scenes: first, the knowledge that life needs to change due to the famine and hardships of the time; second, the immigrants begin their move to America; third, the arrival in America and seeing the statue of Liberty, which is the climactic moment of the piece; and finally, ending with the same idea in the beginning of the piece but now as memory and longing for Ireland.
