La Bruja

Tell the mischievous tale of la bruja ("the witch") in this wonderful arrangement for concert band. A favorite with mariachi groups due to its hauntingly beautiful melody, this is the perfect introduction to folk songs from Veracruz. The waltz-like melody countered with hemiolas and traditional Mexican folk rhythms will make an impact on your students. The optional guitar adds to the folk character and traditional spirit of the work.
