Salsa Metalica is written in the popular Cuban and Puerto Rican dance style called salsa. In Spanish, the word salsa refers to hot sauce which also describes this spicy Latin rhythm. The translation for metalico is metallic. The literal English translation of the Spanish word for brass instruments is metal musical instruments. Salsa music often features a big-band styled ensemble with a Latin percussion rhythm section including congas, bongos, and timbales. Capturing the essence of salsa music using two trumpets, a French horn, trombone, and tuba has certainly been an entertaining challenge.

This work is my second essay for brass quintet, composed in 1993 and revised in 2009. The four movements are named for differing types of metal from which, historically, the instruments have sometimes been made or veneered. But these movement titles, (Brass, Silver, Copper and Gold) are only points of inspiration. The music itself presents four movements of contrasting tempos and coloration.
