Difficulty Level: Medium, Grade 4/5
Style: Contemporary Symphonic Music with Strong Spanish Influence
Original Music Composed by Tim Hinton
Percussion Music by Clif Walker
(Originally commissioned by the Northwestern H.S. Band, Rock Hill, SC – Larry Wells, Director)
Conquest / Reverence / Machismo
A Spanish show of all original music, and one of the most popular shows I’ve ever written! Opening with an exciting drum break (great drum parts by Clif Walker!) the opening movement abounds with energy and rhythmic ensemble hits. The ballad features the woodwinds in a lyrical change of pace, and the closer features the drum line, low brass, and trumpets as it builds to a dramatic conclusion. This original marching band show is full of energy and bravado!
