del Águila - Sambeada for Wind Quintet

Written 2022 for Windsync, who premiered it the same year at Artpark Lewiston, NY. Sambeada is a lively dance featuring ostinato rhythms, idioms and colors inspired by Brazilian Samba and Bossa Nova. Written mainly in 13/16 time signature, the music becomes increasingly lively and joyous finally triggering a syncopated dance where the horn leads the ensemble as it imitates a Latin trumpet.
