Title: Sol y Sambra

Performers: District IV Honors Band

Orchestration: Symphonic Band Insrumentation

Origin: Spanish/American


The Schmid article speaks about strategies to incorporate world music into instrumental ensembles. My link is a recording of a Spanish March titled Sol y Sambra performed by a high school band. Im not sure if this piece was re-orchestrated for symphonic band or if it was originally written for this instrumentation. I thought it was a nice example of how a piece of multicultural music can be added on a concert program to expose student musicians to different cultures.
