Description
Movement III
Rooted on the folkloric tradition of Dominican Palos or Atabales, this movement is rich on multi-layered patterns and includes lyrics at the beginning of the piece. It offers the possibility for the entire band to sing a simple repetitive phrase while a lead vocalist sings the main tune. The soloists are the soprano sax (on the alto sax 1 chair) and the percussion/drummer. An authentic rendition would require additional percussion instruments including Dominican panderos and atabales, but only the drummer could also perform it. A great closing piece for any concert!
