Where the Heavens Meet Earth

天與地交匯的地方 "是為年輕樂隊創作的一首優美抒情的作品。這首樂曲以流暢的旋律線條和優美的四音動機為特色，並在整個樂隊中傳遞，是一首完美的中段樂曲，可展現不同樂器聲部的色彩，為教授樂隊內部的融合與平衡提供了機會。這首傑瑞米-貝爾（Jeremy Bell）的原創作品靈感來自玻利維亞風景如畫的烏尤尼鹽湖。鹽灘位於西南部安第斯山脈附近，由幾個史前湖泊演變而成。這裡的海拔高度變化平均在一米左右，雨後的極度平坦將這片 80 英里的土地變成了世界上最大的鏡子，反射著天空。(3:30)

原文簡介:
Where the Heavens Meet Earth is a beautiful, lyrical work for young band. Featuring flowing melodic lines and a beautiful four-note motive that transfers throughout the ensemble, the piece is a perfect mid-program work to feature the colors of the different instrumental sections, permitting opportunities to teach about blend and balance within the group. This original Jeremy Bell piece was inspired by the picturesque salt flats in Bolivia called Salar de Uyuni. Located in the Southwest near the Andes, the flats were formed by the transformations of several prehistoric lakes. With variations in elevation that average around a meter, the extreme flatness following a rain turns the 80-mile landscape into the world's largest mirror, reflecting the sky above. (3:30)
