Rhapsody Ritmico

Rhapsody Ritmico opens majestically with fanfare punctuations. The second section is a gently lilting lullaby with imitation in the upper brasses and a melodic and rhythmic ostinato in the lower brasses. The horn introduces a merry fugue subject, and then each instrument joins the frolic. The various themes and sections are richly interwoven before a dramatic final flourish.
