Program Notes
Symphonic Dance No. 1 , Comanche Ritual, is one of a group of five originally commissioned by the Minnie Stevens Piper Foundation commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the San Antonio Symphony Orchestra which first performed the entire set of dances on January 30, 1965, under the baton of the composer.
Williams transcribed Dances 2, "The Maskers," 3, "Fiesta," and 5, "New Generation," for symphonic band, although only 2 and 3 were published initially. Each dance represents a culture which at a given historical time occupied the San Antonio area. The fierce Comanches, who had driven the Apaches from the High Plains, were themselves defeated by the Texas Rangers after the "Council House Fight" in San Antonio in March of 1840.
