MALAGUENA

Ernesto Lecuona (1895-1963) is an iconic figure in the realm of music, renowned both as a Cuban composer and as a virtuoso pianist. His illustrious body of work, spanning over 600 compositions, predominantly carries the essence of Cuban musical heritage. Among his notable creations is the "Andalucía Suite," a composition conceived in 1928 for piano. Lecuona masterfully captures the essence of Andalucía, an enchanting region located in the southern expanse of Spain.

This arrangement takes a unique twist by adding and augmenting the melodic material to fit within the aksak subdivision of 2+2+2+3 with the ends of phrases ending in 3+3+3. Additionally, it has a similar energy to the traditional Drum and Bulge Corps arrangements of Malagueña when it was performed often during the 90s by long-standing corps that are still around today.
