Description

Written with guest wind arranger Doug Thrower and featuring a collection of renowned Spanish and Mexican music, including some of which Doug also arranged for the Bluecoat’s 2016 show, Down Side Up, La Ofrenda is a show dedicated to the Mexican holiday, Dìa de los Muertos. The musical pieces featured in this show are: Danzòn No. 2 by Arturo Marquez, Heat of the Day by Pat Metheny, Todo Tiende by Ojos de Brujo, and Adagio from Concierto de Aranjuez by Joaquìn Rodrigo. Featuring a challenging wind and percussion book, this show will be a blast for your performers, especially if they are fans of the Bluecoat’s version of Heat of the Day and Todo Tiende.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This show may not be for everyone. It features arrangements of Danzón No. 2, Heat of the Day, Todo Tiende, and the Adagio from Concierto de Aranjuez—all extraordinary pieces of music but costly to license. Due to licensing requirements, this show may incur an additional cost of up to $4,480 on top of the standard show price. These licensing fees and associated costs will be included in your final invoice. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
