Australiana Sketches from Down Under

這首樂曲的靈感來源於澳大利亞的土地，並引用了澳大利亞傳統曲調《華爾滋瑪蒂爾達》（Waltzing Matilda）、《飛往南澳大利亞》（Bound for South Australia）和《前進澳大利亞集市》（Advance Australia Fair），以一種輝煌的序曲風格混合演奏，向澳大利亞人民的精神、多樣性和自豪的傳統致敬。音樂情緒在優美動人、令人肅然起敬的主題和歡快、甚至喧鬧的民間曲調之間交替，最後以輝煌的樂章結束。(3:30)

原文簡介:
Drawing its inspiration from "the land down under" and featuring quotations from the traditional Australian tunes "Waltzing Matilda," "Bound for South Australia," and "Advance Australia Fair" in a glorious overture-style medley, this composition salutes the spirit, diversity, and proud heritage of the people of Australia. The musical emotions alternate between the hauntingly beautiful, reverent themes and the joyous, even raucous, folk tunes building to a glorious conclusion. (3:30)
