Program Notes
Danza Furioso is a high-energy yet accessible feature for xylophone soloist with a backing trio of three marimbists, all sharing one instrument. With this piece, composer Jonathan Ovalle sought to combine the melodic energy of a work like Johannes Brahms’ Hungarian Dance No. 5 with the fervor of traditional Guatemalan and Mexican marimba.
Danza Furioso was composed in 2012 and premiered the same year at the Percussive Arts Society International Convention with the composer as soloist.
