This classic Spanish march by Jaime Texidor has been expertly re-cast for younger players in this authentic-sounding edition by Gary Fagan. Instrumentation and brass ranges have been modified, however, the charm and energy of the original has been left unchanged.

was supposed to play this in band but never did due to corona.. tbh this song slaps more than i anticipated lol now i know why everyone likes it

[limeemil]

I’m playing this right now in band and our band director is like “116 is fast enough we don’t need you all messing up”
Yea so he was absent today and us being the immature 7th and 8th graders we are decided to take it at 168 with one of our flutes directing and it actually sounded good lmao

I remember playing this in high school, 50-plus years ago. Always liked it.

This song really grew on me, I swear it’s alway the marches that capture your heart

[daisydesiree]

This really features the low brass and i love it. Me being a euphonium makes it hard trying to find music that has us as a melody. I enjoy this march and it has actually encouraged me to look into more Spanish marches hoping they also feature the euphoniums as much as this one.

At last!!!! One "foreing" version not played as if the band were in a hurry to go home. IMO this is one of the best versions. You can dance it (it's a pasodoble-doublestep) and a march you don't want to trip with it. Thanx Mr Fagan from Barcelona.

Played this last year, beautiful piece for low brass. Trombone player here, this piece makes me feel appreciated as the part wasn’t “easy” not overwhelmingly difficult

[arielcote]

In my band class, this is my newest music to learn. As a flutist who hates high notes as long as I live, this is the death of me.

Playing this percussion 3 on xylophone is the best, and super fun. I wish we could play this super fun peice again one day 😭💗

[superior-roblox]

played this with my band at a performance, out of all the pieces this one is definetly my favourite

[abigailmartinez]

I love with the French Horns and cornets play together in that small solo

[kellyfarmer]

Our band made 2021 OPS state runner up playing this! Piccolo soloist here :)

[homemadewasabi]

My band played this at 1.25x speed, soooo much fun! I played the baritone part ❤

[anoversizedbathroomrug]

This was my school’s senior song (the one they chose for the last concert) bc it’s a huge meme song at my school and this sounds so slow lol, I think we got to ~320 bpm? which is actually fine as a clarinet 2 for the upbeats

[J_Pulido]

We playing this for our concert in 3 days and bc I’ve been out for doctor reasons I’m just now taking a good look at it 😭 and I have first part 🥲.

[RoseCadenza]

I feel sorry for the 2nd and 3rd clarinets with all the off beats. D:

[AlliWalker]

This was one of my favorite pieces of music to play as a kid (and I was low brass).

[adamjackson]

Get to play percussion on this song, so exited

[Blackpaladin]

I am playing this in band, and I play the flute. It is an amazing piece and love the part at 0:40 smthing

[sierraziegler]

I play bass clarinet and this song is hard enough to be fun like it’s not to hard but just the right amount to stay fun.
