La Procession du Rocio
Composer Joaquin Turina (1882-1949) was a native of Spain, but was influenced early in his career by the impressionistic harmonies of Debussy and Ravel while studying in Paris. Upon returning to Spain he drew inspiration from Spanish folk music with La Procession du Rocio becoming one of his best-known works. The music portrays a festival and procession that takes place in the Triana neighborhood of Seville, and is filled with wonderful idiomatic Spanish musical elements. Alfred Reed’s marvelous transcription created in 1962 remains an enduring staple in the repertoire for wind bands. Dur: c. 8:30Recorded by The Keystone Wind Ensemble – Jack Stamp, conductor

Lanier Variants
During his brief lifetime, Sidney Lanier (1842-1881) was at one time or another a soldier, musician, teacher, lawyer, and a college professor. He is perhaps best remembered as a poet and for the middle school in Fairfax, Virginia which bears his name. Inspired by a favorite Lanier quote (“Music is love in search of a word”), Johnnie Vinson has fashioned a musical theme which captures the essence of this sentiment. With a bit of early American flavor, this main theme progresses through a series of contrasting variations, culminating in a grand and heroic closing statement. Dur: 4:50SKU: HLPC21000
