This Hugh Stuart original captures the spirit and color of Andalusia, the large ancient province of Spain where much of that country's tradition and culture was developed. After a driving introduction, a dramatic trumpet cadenza conjures up images of a heroic matador which leads into the main theme. This lilting melody in 3/4 time is flavored with interesting harmonies and rythmic variation as smooth inner lines weave their way through the texture. Transport your band and audience to this colorful region with this concert winner! |
