樂曲解說

總統套房由弗吉尼亞樂隊和樂團董事協會委託，以紀念其成立75週年，認可了弗吉尼亞州的豐富歷史遺產，尤其是作為八名美國總統的生日。使用套件格式，該作品著重於三個開國元勳。第一樂章弗農山是喬治·華盛頓之家的寧靜音樂印象。蒙蒂塞洛（Monticello）是第二樂章，描繪了托馬斯·杰斐遜（Thomas Jefferson）時代的典型音樂風格。該套房與詹姆斯·麥迪遜（James Madison）的故鄉蒙彼利埃（Montpelier）結束，並使用大膽而雄偉的圖案描繪了麥迪遜莊園的廣闊而宏偉的景觀。杜：C 5:30

Commissioned by the Virginia Band and Orchestra Directors Association to commemorate its 75th anniversary, Presidential Suite recognizes the rich historical heritage of Virginia, particularly as the birthplace of eight United States presidents. Using a suite format, the work focuses on three of the founding fathers. The first movement, Mount Vernon, is a serene musical impression of the home of George Washington. Monticello is the second movement and portrays the stately style of music typical of Thomas Jefferson’s time. The suite concludes with Montpelier, the home of James Madison, and uses bold and majestic motifs to portray the broad and magnificent landscape of Madison’s estate. Dur: c 5:30
