The Cuban
composer and pianist
Ernesto Lecuona
(1896-1963) wrote many
works labelled as
Afro-Cuban, and sorting
them all can be
difficult. While some are
lost and others are
scattered about, the 1930
piano suite titled Danzas
Afro-Cubanas, a
collection of six of the
dances, remains a core
group in the style. La
Comparsa (Carnival
Procession) is the sixth
dance in the suite, and
it is based on the
traditional parade and
ceremony that occurs
during Carnival season in
Cuba. This composition
starts with the gradual
approach of the
procession and carries
one through all the
excitement until the last
faint notes of the
departing parade die away
in the distance. This
version for full
orchestra has been
arranged by Morton Gould
(1913-1996).
