Year: 2014 | Type: Single-movement work for concert band | Duration: ca. 4' 30''
This work draws its inspiration from two traditional coastal dances of Peru: the Marinera and the Festejo. The first is an elegant and stylized representation of courtship, notable for the fact that the dancers never touch each other. In contrast, the Festejo involves several couples dancing in a vibrant and erotic manner.
Notes:
This work premiered in 2017 at Green Center’s Kresge Auditorium, DePauw University, by the DePauw University Band, under the direction of Craig Pare.
