Janitzio - Wind Band

Wind Band - Loud and festive, but with an easy waltz-like swing, Janitzio evolves from a theme in 3/8, evoking a local melody as though played by an out-of-tune band. Typically, Revueltas frequently interrupts the flow with abrupt changes of instrumentation and character. The central section of the work's ABA structure allows the oboe and clarinet, then trumpet and horn, and finally strings to provide an unexpectedly tender respite; before long, however, the festive music of the opening returns in full force.
