Zarabandeo for Clarinet in B-flat and Piano by Arturo Márquez. Peermusic, 2005, SS, 21 + 8 pages. Arturo Márquez (1950-) is a Mexican born composer who studied in Mexico, California, and Paris. Márquez is best known for a series of Danzóns, based on the elegant ballroom-style dance form that originated in Cuba and made its way to the gulf coast of Mexico. With its long, sinuous melodies and seemingly spontaneous modulations through a number of different tonal areas, this piece celebrates the joy and freedom the composer finds in this and related dance forms. College level (lots of 5/8 interspersed with other meters). Duration of 10 minutes. (C1500)
