Iditarod (Third Movement of Portraits of the North) 樂章

一年一度的艾迪塔羅德雪橇賽在阿拉斯加的安克雷奇市和諾姆市之間舉行，賽程長達 1049 英里，途經崎嶇的山脈、茂密的森林和狂風肆虐的海岸線，極具挑戰性。這一驚人的耐力壯舉正是 Iditarod 的靈感來源。影片的視角從長鏡頭切換到特寫鏡頭（從狗的視角到鷹的視角），以電影的方式不斷向前推進。在短暫的停頓之後，一個雄偉、宏大的主題被引入並展開。然後--回到比賽！狗兒們重新煥發活力，在最後的衝刺階段奮力奔跑；音樂不斷增強，直至最後一刻。<伊迪塔羅德》是西溫哥華青年樂隊為紀念樂隊成立 80 周年而創作的。帶您的觀眾體驗這令人興奮的旅程！長度5:35

原文簡介:
The annual Iditarod Trail Dog Sled Race between the Alaskan cities of Anchorage and Nome covers 1,049 challenging miles of jagged mountain ranges, dense forests and windswept coastlines. This amazing feat of endurance was the inspiration for Iditarod. In cinematic fashion, the point of view cuts from long-shots to close-ups (from the dog's view to the eagle's), constantly moving forward with a relentless pulse. With a brief respite, a majestic, sweeping theme is introduced and develops. And then - back to the race! With renewed energy, the dogs race the final stretch; the music building and intensifying to the very end. Iditarod was commissioned by the West Vancouver Youth Band to commemorate the band's 80th anniversary. Take your audience on this exhilarating ride! Dur: 5:35
