Malaguena Score and Parts 管樂團

埃內斯托-萊庫奧納 1895 年出生於古巴哈瓦那，可以說是古巴最偉大的嚴肅作曲家。他是一位天才鋼琴家，在 1963 年去世前創作了數百首歌曲和鋼琴作品。他的音樂作品大多具有濃郁、純正的古巴風格。在他的作品中，最有名的是 1928 年首次出版的鋼琴獨奏組曲《安達盧西亞》的第六樂章 "Malagueña"。馬拉蓋尼亞》曾被錄製成流行歌曲（添加了歌詞）、嚴肅的鋼琴作品（甚至由萊庫奧納本人在 20 世紀 50 年代錄製）以及爵士樂標準曲目（比爾-霍爾曼在 20 世紀 60 年代初為斯坦-肯頓管弦樂隊編曲）。1976 年，詹姆斯-巴恩斯（James Barnes）為堪薩斯大學行進樂隊編排了《馬拉古尼亞》。幾年後，經出版商許可，他將這一原創編曲擴展為交響樂隊的完整作品，名為 "萊庫奧納《馬拉古尼亞》前奏曲、幻想曲和凡丹戈"。1978 年春，巴恩斯在科羅拉多斯普林斯的 MENC 大會上表演了幾次後，這部作品和其他 200 多份巴恩斯手稿就被擱置在科大樂隊圖書館裡。2015 年，巴恩斯從堪薩斯大學退休，在收拾辦公室物品時，他發現了這首沉睡已久的 "前奏曲、幻想曲和凡丹戈"，並保留了簡譜。2016 年秋天，他完全重新創作了作品的開頭部分，減少了所需打擊樂器的數量，並取消了 1978 年版本中的兩把豎琴。這一新版本中，單簧管、巴松管和長笛的獨奏段落令人回味無窮、樂譜細膩、音域寬廣，最後全管樂隊以萊庫奧納的名作《馬拉圭尼亞》中的主旋律為作品畫上了一個有力、戲劇性的句號"

原文簡介:
Born in Havana, Cuba in 1895, Ernesto Lecuona is arguably Cuba's greatest serious composer. He was a gifted pianist who wrote hundreds of songs and piano works before he died in 1963. Most of his music is composed in a rich, authentic Cuban style. The most famous of his works is “Malagueña,” the sixth movement of his Suite Andalucia for solo piano, which was first published in 1928. Malagueña has been recorded as a popular song (with added lyrics), as a serious piano work (even by Lecuona himself in the 1950's) and also as a jazz standard (Bill Holman's arrangement for the Stan Kenton Orchestra in the early 1960's.) Over the years, it has been arranged many times for various other mediums, ranging from symphony orchestra to field arrangements for drum and bugle corps.In 1976, James Barnes arranged Malagueña for the University of Kansas Marching Band. A few years later, with permission from the publisher, he expanded this original arrangement into a full work for symphonic band called “Prelude, Fantasy and Fandango on Lecuona's Malagueña.” After several performances in the spring of 1978 (most notably at the MENC Convention in Colorado Springs), this work, along with over 200 other Barnes manuscripts, lay fallow in the KU Band Library. While packing up his office belongings when he retired from The University of Kansas in 2015, Barnes came across this long languishing “Prelude, Fantasy and Fandango,” which remained in condensed score. In the fall of 2016, he completely re-composed the opening portion of the work, reduced the number of required percussion and disposed of the two harps in his 1978 version. This new setting features evocative, thinly scored, extended solo passages for clarinet, bassoon and flute before the full wind band concludes the work with a powerful, dramatic setting of the main themes of Lecuona's masterful Malagueña.
