'Un Dulcito' ("A Little Sweet") is a set of 4 Latin-American dances. Originally for violin and cello duo, the suite was then adapted for string orchestra.

The second-movement tango ('Tangle') was written in March 2009 at the request of Jacksonville Symphony players. The other movements were added soon after, and tunes used in both the first-movement samba ('Hoodoo') and fourth-movement rumba ('Rumor') are melodic transformations of the main 'Tangle' theme.
