James Horner wrote the score for the 2005 version of several Zorro films, “The Legend of Zorro”. Films and television have used this familiar tale beginning with the 1920 film starring Douglas Fairbanks. “Vaquero” was composed by Sammy Nestico, a composer and arranger whose name often appears on concert band programs.
Much has been written about Leonard Bernstein’s brilliant gifts as a conductor, composer, pianist, and TV music lecturer. Leonard Bernstein's Young People's Concerts with the New York Philharmonic stand among his greatest achievements. “Danzon” is one of four specific dance sequences in the ballet “Fancy Free” composed by Bernstein in collaboration with choreographer Jerome Robbins. Fancy Free was immediately recognized as the first ballet of importance to be written and set completely in the contemporary American idiom.
Several of Alberto Ginastera’s compositions stand as landmarks of Latin-American artistic creation and have earned him a place among the greatest composers of the twentieth century. The title on tonight’s playlist is “Danza”, the finale from a larger work, “Estancia”. Other selections for tonight’s concert include several marches and Latin pop songs.
