Alegre (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Leon, Tania

Alegre is a Spanish word meaning joyful. Utilising the style of a Latin groove, the piece is a showcase for rhythmic dexterity. It also demonstrates the inextricable link in Latin American cultures between music and dance. Tania Leon incorporates the stylistic elements of ostinati with off-beat accents and improvisation to create a brilliant piece that excites both mind and body.
