Bridge of the Gods

由波特蘭俄勒岡交響樂團委約創作的《眾神之橋》是一首戲劇性的三樂章交響詩，展現了美國原住民克裡基塔特人講述的關於喀斯喀特山脈火山和傳奇橋樑起源的豐富多彩的傳說。第一樂章（"Saghalie"）向強大的眾神之首致敬，以雄偉的扇形主題為基礎。第二樂章捕捉到了少女 "Loowit "的美麗，長笛和英國管的獨奏伴隨著輕柔的吟唱。最後一個樂章 "Tanmahawis "運用了鮮明的音群、參差不齊的旋律片段和節奏感極強的打擊樂，描繪了強大橋樑被摧毀的場景。持續時間：8:50

原文簡介:
Commissioned by the Oregon Symphonic Band in Portland, Bridge of the Gods is a dramatic three-movement symphonic poem presenting the colorful legend told by the Native American Klickitatst about the origins of the volcanic mountains of the Cascade range and legendary bridge. The first movement (“Saghalie”) pays tribute to the powerful chief of all gods and is based on a majestic fanfare theme. The second movement captures the beauty of the maiden “Loowit,” with haunting flute and English horn solos accompanied by soft chanting voices. The final movement, “Tanmahawis,” utilizes stark clusters, jagged melodic fragments, and rhythmic percussive energy as it depicts the destruction of the mighty bridge. Dur: 8:50
