Program Notes
This work is taken, and arranged from the third movement of my Three Latin American Dances for wind ensemble. It's composed in the style of a Mexican huapango. A fun, dance-like party full of festive expression. This movement is dedicated to my wife's family.
- Program Note by composer
The phrase "El Zape" translates from Spanish as "the sap." It is also a village in the state of Durango, Mexico.
