I played this piece with a municipal band years ago. The conductor of this group yelled with passion during rehearsal that our goal was to inspire a couple in the audience to make a baby after hearing the band play this piece. It’s unclear to this day if we were successful.
I have been looking for the score of this for so long, I played it an an honor band and it has remained my favorite concert band piece i have ever played. It was an honor band and I was covering all of the mallet parts myself. Very scary but it's a great piece.
Honey, the word is CONTRAPUNTAL! The back half of this is a demonstration in contrapuntal melody and just a straight banger. Commissioned and written for the United State Air Force band. You know there was 0% goofing off at the premiering 1985.
Would love to play this someday! What a great piece! I've been suggesting it for years for our college community band to play it, but so far the director hasn't programmed it yet.
Hounds is better methinks. While I like some of the individual themes more in this, hounds has a much more compelling back half with the canon that turns into that beautiful climax. Also the lyrical section is more contained in Hounds. I'm only saying this because I see these two pieces as peas in a pod.
They both sound so Reed to me. For example 6:30 - 6:45 gives the same feel as part of Hounds. I love Reed's work Edit: see the measures leading up to 135 of The Hounds of Spring, with the hit at 135. IDENTICAL if you ask me

Just assume y'all were successful
What a weird thing to say

I love the hell out of Samuel Hazo (and Arabesque is easily his best!) but nothing compares to Alfred Reed!
I played this in 1995/98 at the university of Miami all county honors band. My favorite!
NHK交響楽団演奏やな^^ 完璧すぎる^^

Amazing!
one of my favorite piece..new friend here
i absolutely love this piece. woodwinds at 1:31 are insane
大学の定期演奏会で音楽家の先生の指揮で吹いたことあるのに、
230小節目からの旋律群の動き以外、譜面見てもこんなことやってたっけ?
と浦島太郎状態だった(トロンボーン3)記憶喪失かも
This price makes me a happy horn player
My highschool band is currently playing the watered down version of this. Praying ifi. Get into honour band we play tgis version
The horn lines are crazy
8:03 (don't mind me timestamping where we skip to)

based Reed

I'll make a video of Hounds one day!

I am currently playing this on 2nd Clarinet as a Freshman with not a lot of experience with this stuff. Help me.

Very little of this is "Latin". A better title would have been "Spanish Fantasy".
