Fiesta de Suenos

Loosely translated as "Party of Dreams&q= uot;, Fiesta de Sue=F1os takes the listener on a journey through one's dre= am. Scored for tenor pan, double tenors, double seconds, triple cellos, triple guitars, bass pans and an extensive engine room that includes drumset and optional bass guitar, the introduction of this piece is calm and mysterious in mood and represents the first stage of sleep. Sleep soon gives way to dreaming, as the music builds to a driving Afro-Cuban groove that symbolizes the exuberance of a party. The dream takes a turn and the introductory material comes back, but in a half-time feel which sets up a solo section. Changes are provided for this great opportunity to highlight players within the ensemble.
