Andaluza
Publisher Desc.
Andaluza is an interpretation for concert band from Manuel de Falla's
suite of Spanish folk music for solo piano. When I first heard Andaluza it
immediately struck me as music that would shine in the realm of the concert
band. Each movement in the suite expresses Spanish folk music idioms through
an impressionistic lens reflecting Debussy's influence on de Falla. Andaluza
seems to portray a civic gathering with a mixture of dances, speeches,
sonnets, arguments, and celebrations ending with a mysterious lingering
question tinged with hopefulness. The music is meant to allow the high school
or higher band to explore the world of impressionist harmonies alongside the
classic artistry of Spanish folk music.
