Your beginning string orchestra is bound to sparkle with this delightful new composition from composer George Sweet. The piece uses very simple rhythmic figure that will make that very first concert for these budding new musicians a success. The harmonies are lush and refreshing for a piece at this level. The parents will not believe their ears!.
Sparkle City, along with “Hub-City,” is one of the nicknames of Spartanburg, South Carolina. The piece was commissioned by the Spartanburg District 7 5th Grade Honor Orchestra and is a reflection of their vibrant city.The piece begins with a bold, accented introduction. The main theme is presented by the first Violins at m. 9. Be sure to observe the staccato markings in the accompaniment as they help to propel the piece forward.  A crescendo pushes into the B-section at m. 25 which is reminiscent of the introduction. Be sure to observe the change in dynamics as they highlight the contrast from section to section. The second Violins and Violas restate the main theme at m. 35, this time with a countermelody in the first Violins. The B-section returns again at m. 49, this time up an octave, and is “echoed” at a piano dynamic at m. 57. Once again, be sure to utilize as much dynamic contrast as possible in this section.  The introductory material returns at m. 65 and pushes the piece to a dramatic conclusion.

“Th e idea of writing the Danzón No.2 originated in 1993 during a trip to Malinalco with the painter Andrés Fonseca and the dancer Irene Martínez, both of whom are experts in salon dances with a special passion for the danzón, which they were able to transmit to me from the beginning, and also during later trips to Veracruz and visits to the Colonia Salon in Mexico City. From these experiences onward, I started to learn the danzón’s rhythms, its form, its melodic outline, and to listen to the old recordings by Acerina and his Danzonera Orchestra. I was fascinated and I started to understand that the apparent lightness of the danzón is only like a visiting card for a type of music full of sensuality and qualitative seriousness, a genre which old Mexican people continue to dance with a touch of nostalgia and a jubilant escape towards their own emotional world; we can fortunately still see this in the embrace between music and dance that occurs in the State of Veracruz and in the dance parlors of Mexico City. The Danzón No.2 is a tribute to the environment that nourishes the genre. It endeavors to get as close as possible to the dance, to its nostalgic melodies, to its wild rhythms, and although it violates its intimacy, its form and its harmonic language, it is a very personal way of paying my respects and expressing my emotions towards truly popular music. Danzón No.2 was written on a commission by the Department of Musical Activities at Mexico’s National Autonomous University and is dedicated to my daughter Lily.” -- Arturo Marquez About the danzon genre, Lidice Valenzuela writes in Cubanow: The history of the danzon goes back to the arrival in Cuba of the European contradance. It came in three different ways: directly from Spain, the colonial metropolis; with the British, who occupied Havana in 1762; and the French colonizers and their slaves who landed in Cuba's Eastern shores after fleeing from the Haitian Revolution. From all of that trans-cultural process the Danzon was born. This new Cuban dance, naturalized by the Creoles, had much more expressive freedom: the couple danced in each other's arms, and the dancing time was extended. People began calling it Danzon and it was in Matanzas, in the 1870s that figure dancing also began to be called Danzon. Thus, Failde, an outstanding musician, named his composition with the generic name of Danzon..

As the title implies, this stunning overture opens with an ominous initial statement and erupts to a driving musical force to the end. Inspired by an Antarctic mountain, the story is based on the Norse mythology story about a monstrous wolf. Engaging and charismatic, this composition sounds more difficult than it plays and will serve equally well on concerts or contest programs. (1:45).
