El Camino Real - A Latin Fantasy. (Full Score). By Alfred Reed (1921-2005). Score. Hal Leonard Concert Band Series. Grade 4.. Grade 5. 56 pages. Published by Edward B. Marks Music (HL.7249).
El Camino Real (“The Royal Road” or “The King's Highway”) was commissioned by the 581st Air Force Band and its commander, Lt. Col. Ray E. Toler. This fantasy is based on a series of Spanish folk melodies and underscored by chord progressions used by generations of flamenco guitarists, whose fiery style and brilliant playing have created a vast body of what many consider authentic Spanish music.
The music follows a traditional fast-slow-fast pattern, with a first section that is based on the dance form known as the jota, and second contrasting section derived from the fandango.

My favourite ever
This is without a doubt the most incredible and touching piece I've ever played. Only exceptional ensembles should attempt this piece; it is extremely difficult to acheive a wonderful sound, but it's well worth the effort. I am a high school student, however our concert band is of a standard...
