Single-movement work for concert band.
Grade 4. Approx. duration: eleven minutes.
Set consists of a conductor score (11x17) and multiple parts (see extended description).
Rapsódia Sefaradi (Sephardic Rhapsody) for symphonic band was commissioned and composed in 2013 by the Festival Música Das Américas (Music of the Americas Festival) in Belém do Pará, Brazil. It was premiered on April 7th, 2013.
In this work, the composer pays homage to the people and culture of the Sephardic Jews of Belém, Brazil (from whom he descends) through the use of four folkloric songs in the free form of a rhapsody. Although originally intended for the Americas Festival band, the work was actually premiered by the Symphonic Band of the State of São Paulo, which was conducted by Marcos Sadao. The North American premiere was performed by the Hope College Wind Ensemble on March 14, 2018 in Holland, Michigan. The group was conducted by Director of Bands Dr. Gabe Southard.
