UPC: 659359666292. English.

The Cuban composer and pianist Ernesto Lecuona (1896-1963) wrote many works labelled as Afro-Cuban, and sorting them all can be difficult. While some are lost and others are scattered about, the 1930 piano suite titled Danzas Afro-Cubanas, a collection of six of the dances, remains a core group in the style. La Comparsa (Carnival Procession) is the sixth dance in the suite, and it is based on the traditional parade and ceremony that occurs during Carnival season in Cuba. This composition starts with the gradual approach of the procession and carries one through all the excitement until the last faint notes of the departing parade die away in the distance. This version for full orchestra has been arranged by Morton Gould (1913-1996). Instrumentation: 2.2.3+BCl.2: 3Sax(AAT; opt.): 2.3.3.1: Perc(1-2): Hp.Clst.Gtr: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): Pno Cond Score in set.

Finally an easy version of the classic tune, Malagueña, arranged by Mike Story! Played with a swing feel around 144 BPM with a written-out alto solo, trumpet 1 range to written F top line, this easy to play crowd pleaser will be a hit.

This famous Flamenco guitar masterpiece is re-envisioned as a passionate, dramatic choral work for concert or festival. The final accelerando section leads to an exciting presto of wild abandon! The piece may be performed with piano accompaniment or as an a cappella selection.
