El Relicario

El Relicario by José Padilla is one of the most famous and best loved paso dobles in the band literature. This Spanish march is traditionally performed at bullfights as the participants enter the arena. This setting retains all of the delightful rhythms and enchanting melodies of the original. Its Latin flavor is full of colorful Spanish flourish. (Source: Program Note from Indian Springs Middle School Band concert program, 12 February 2016)
