Malagueña (from "Andalucia Suite")—
Ernesto Lecuona/arr. Douglas E. Wagner.
The piano suite "Andalucia" (sometimes
referred to as Suite Española) is by far
Ernesto Lecuona's most performed and
remembered work, especially the last of its
six movements, Malagueña, scored here
for string orchestra. The suite celebrates
Andalusia, the southernmost region of
mainland Spain, and, more notably, the
vibrant culture of those who live there. This
arrangement captures all of the passion of
the original and will be perfect for concert or
contest. (3:15)

sounding original work uses various
ensemble configurations from within the

writing is used to help balance the smaller
ensemble writing within the score. The
work is inspired by images of a Western
frontier filled with rolling fields, mountains,
and sunsets along with subtle character-
filled details that have a forward and fast-
moving feel.
