| 解説 | デイヴィッド・マスランカによる吹奏楽作品です。夜明けの光と希望を象徴する明るく抒情的な旋律が特徴で、穏やかな中間部と力強いクライマックスが対比的に展開します。管楽器群の色彩豊かな響きとアンサンブルの緻密さにより、光が差し込む朝の情景を音楽的に描写しています。演奏会で聴衆に清新な印象と感動を与える、一曲を通じて希望と活力を表現する作品です。 (出版社のオリジナル解説） Morning Star was commissioned by the conductor of the Grand Ledge， Michigan High School Wind Symphony， Michael Kaufman， to celebrate the opening of the school’s new concert hall. It was premiered by the students in May of 1997. Morning Star is a happy piece about beginnings: the dawning of a new day， the opening of a new hall， the beginning of adult life for the young people who premiered the piece， and for those who are playing it now. |
