PROgRAm nOTeSsymphonic Dance no. 3, “fiesta,” is one of a group
of five works originally commissioned by the minnie stevens Piper
foundation commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the san
antonio symphony orchestra. the first performance of the complete
set of dances was by that orchestra, conducted by the composer,
January 30, 1965. in refashioning the dances for symphonic band,
composer Clifton Williams achieves a new dimension in sound and
color and adds fresh excitement to contemporary band
literature.
“fiesta” depicts the pageantry of latin-american
celebrations–street bands, bullfights, and bright costumes–the
colorful legacy of a proud people.
the band version was premiered at the american Bandmasters
association convention in miami, florida, march 4, 1967, by the
University of miami’s “Band of the Hour” under the composer’s
direction.
Please note: our band and orchestra music is now being collated
by an automatic high-speed system. the enclosed parts are now
sorted by page count, rather than score order. We hope this will
not present any difficulty for you in distributing the parts. thank
you for your understanding.
