Danza Furioso is a high-energy yet accessible feature for xylophone soloist with a backing trio of three marimbists, all sharing one instrument. With this piece, composer Jonathan Ovalle sought to combine the melodic energy of a work like Brahms’s Hungarian Dance No. 5 with the fervor of traditional Guatemalan and Mexican marimba. You’ll hear the former in the solo part and the latter in the marimba-trio accompaniment, and all with a bit of gypsy flair!
