Symphonic Dance No. 3, “Fiesta,” is one of a group of five works originally commissioned by the Minnie
Stevens Piper Foundation commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the San Antonio Symphony
lU

Orchestra. The first performance of the complete set of dances was by that orchestra, conducted by the
r

composer, January 30, 1965. In refashioning the dances for symphonic band, composer Clifton Williams
achieves a new dimension in sound and color and adds fresh excitement to contemporary band literature.
P
a

“Fiesta” depicts the pageantry of Latin-American celebrations–street bands, bullfights, and bright
eg

costumes–the colorful legacy of a proud people.

The band version was premiered at the American Bandmasters Association convention in Miami, Florida,
L

March 4, 1967, by the University of Miami’s “Band of the Hour” under the composer’s direction.

Please note: Our band and orchestra music is now being collated by an automatic high-speed
system. The enclosed parts are now sorted by page count, rather than score order. We hope this
will not present any difficulty for you in distributing the parts. Thank you for your understanding.
