H Danzon No. 2—Arturo Marquez/arr. Oliver Nickel.
Originally written for orchestra, Danzon No. 2 has
enjoyed significant popularity on performance
programs everywhere. The danzon itself was
Cuban-born, from a natural synthesis of Spanish,
British, and French dance forms. This work is
built on a beautiful, elegant main theme, stated on
clarinet, building in intensity before erupting into
passionate rhythms later.

with the traditional percussion instruments. Using
"found" percussion instruments in addition to
creative wind parts, the piece creates a life of its
own to the delight of musicians and audiences!
