Description
Based on the traditional Spanish carol ‘Ríu Ríu Chíu’ and arranged by Andrew Wainwright, this exciting foot-tapping item was premièred at Butlins Mineworkers Championships in 2010. Recorded on Virtuosi GUS Band’s CD ‘Christmas Fantasia – The Music of Andrew Wainwright’, it has since proved to be a popular concert item.
“Spanish Dance winds up to a whirlwind climax with a respectful nod in the direction of Morley Calvert’s ‘Canadian Folk Song Suite’ – very clever.” Paul Hindmarsh, music critic
