The Battle of the Alamo was a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution. Following a 13-day siege, Mexican Troops under commodore and President Antonio Lopez De Santa Anna, launched an assault on the Alamo Mission. On this day, All of the Texican troops had fallen. Before seeking revenge Santa Anna had accomplished a long felt desire to take over what was righteously his. This battle ended in a Mexican victory, making it an essential part of United States History. Containing Latin flourishes, this piece celebrates the lives lost, while vividly imagining a hot dry battlefield in Texas. Composer Jay Coles best puts this to a musical setting. This will keep your snares busy and other percussionist counting. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
