Composed by Robert W. Smith. Concert Band. Opus III Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR356). Extra full score. Composed 2008. Duration 5 minutes, 30 seconds. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-3726-01. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-3726-01).The second of four movements in Robert W. Smith's epic work, Dulcinea tells the tale of Don Quixote's adoration of the ideal woman. Written in a sultry 5/4 tango, the audience will hear the haunting melody and feel the passion of Cervantes' knight-errant as he proclaims his love for Dulcinea de Tobosa. Featuring an English horn solo that is liberally cross-cued throughout, the initial melody gives way to the most powerful of statements before returning to the tango in a quiet, yet startling ending.
