Description
Prepare for a display of rhythmic fire with El Cumbanchero. This classic Puerto Rican song is given a virtuosic and high-speed arrangement by Norman Tailor. The piece is characterized by its driving “guaracha” rhythm and rapid-fire brass melodic lines, requiring great technical agility and precision from the entire ensemble. As recorded on CD 7020, it is a high-impact showstopper that serves as a thrilling concert finale or a high-energy encore that always leaves the audience energized.
Difficulty 3
(Medium) Fourth year players, or junior high-level students may require these arrangements to be properly challenged. These generally have free use of syncopation as well as section and solo scoring. Cues and cross cues will also be used less.
