Violento Cb1 Sc/pts

Give your students the opportunity of playing a piece for beginning band that is upbeat and full of excitement! Violento is an original beginning band composition by veteran composer Victor Lopez. This exciting work is a forceful and rhythmically driven composition that sounds more difficult than written. A mixture of the danzon---Cuba's unique genre of song and dance---and basic rhythmic interplay give this piece a unique touch. The inclusive, simple, and repetitious rhythmic patterns will certainly make an energetic statement at your next concert. (1:53)
