ROMANZA ESPAÑA
Spanish Masterworks for Brass

BURNING RIVER BRASS
DOR-90316 Cover

Spanish music is instantly recognizable because of its unique rhythmic and textural characteristics, so much so that we even crédit forays by the obviousiy non-Hispanic (Bernstein, Gershwin) as deserving of the appellation. Purists may object and hold the works included here by Georges Bizet and Tony DiLorenzo as that of outsiders looking in, but then you might as well say that Django Reinhardt didn't play jazz. As soon as it leaves its native land, a musical style is owned by the world.

In the case of Spain, by the time of the Renaissance it was the source of many of the musical instruments popular throughout Europe, and many were dancing and singing to such Spanish musical forms as the chacona, zarabanda, españoleta, and canarios.
