A delightful combination of lyrical themes with rhythmic exuberance and folk-like melodies. Viva Espania is based on themes by two 19th-century Spanish composers. The opening theme is from Recuerdos de la Alhambra by Francisco Tarrega. That piece is a traditional Spanish waltz and was inspired by the famous Alhambra Castle in Grenada. The second theme is by Isaac Albeniz from a suite of music for the piano, Songs of Spain, entitled Leyenda. This section, while still in 3/4 has a fiery exuberance much like one would expect from a flamenco guitarist, yet it's very playable by young players. Authentic Spanish music that's a terrific addition to any concert performance!

Commissioned to commemorate the 100th anniversary of America's National Park Service, this suite is a musical portrait of three cherished natural areas. The first movement is a short fantasia based on the folk song Rocky Mountain. The second movement portrays wonder at the sheer size and scope of the Redwood forest. The last movement is a fast, energetic portrayal of ancient pictographs found at Big Bend National Park.
