Bullfighting is the National sport of Spain, and is also popular in Mexico. This music attempts to portray the colorful spectacle of the bullfight. "Song Of The Matador" is a great concert piece that will work well with pretty much any program of music.

   This product has a difficulty rating of 2.5 on a scale of 1 to 6 with 6 being the hardest.

Estimated Performance Time: 2:55

Technical Notes: The 1st percussion part is for snare drum and bass drum. The 2nd percussion part is for triangle, castanets, tambourine, maracas, wood block, suspended cymbal and crash cymbal. The keyboard percussion part is for bells and xylophone.

The opening section of the music uses the trumpet to establish the noble theme of the matador. It is important that sixteenths are not rushed in the percussion, and then in other instruments they appear. Clarinets and alto saxophone 1 continue the theme at measure 11 with a counter melody in alto saxophone 2, F horn and trombone providing the rhythmic excitement. The eighth notes should be short and precise at measure 40 and again at 44. The bass instruments of the band are featured at measure 48. A good decrescendo is necessary at measure 53 so that the music can build from measure 54 to a forte at measure 56. The staccato notes in measures 54 and 55 will give rhythmic energy and life to the crescendo. Measure 59 brings back the original theme from the beginning of the piece, now in a syncopated, more-energetic form. The fortepiano at measure 69 leads to an exciting and energetic fortissimo at measure 71, which drives to the end of the piece.

Composer(s): "Song Of The Matador" was composed by Douglas Court.

Publisher: "Song Of The Matador" was published by Curnow Music Press.

Series: This piece was part of the series "Curnow Passport Plus Series".
