Description
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 becomingone of his best-known works. The music portrays a festival and processi on that takes place in the Triana neighborhood of Seville, and is filledwith wonderful idiomatic Spanish musical elements. Alfred Reed's marvel ous transcription created in 1962 remains an enduring staple in the repertoire for wind bands. Dur: c. 8:30
