sarnia sam Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) for what it's worth, I prefer Oaklands 75/76 over Madison, but I like Madison's too. Regards, John Edited January 12, 2012 by sarnia sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tusayan Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Malaguena is part of the Cuban Fire Suite by Johnny Richards, but Kenton made it into something big. There is no performance of Malaguena on the Cuban Fire album. It's all original music composed by Johnny Richards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tusayan Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 We replied at the same time it seems! You are correct, Holman did WRITE the original Malaga, and edit it just for the Kenton orchestra. I have that original chart and the score for the Kenton version The original Malaguena melody is indeed by Ernesto Lecuona, but the arrangement Kenton made famous is originally by Johnny Richards. No, the arrangement of Malaguena for the Kenton band was by Holman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soprano Martin Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I can find nothing that verifies Malagueña was arranged by anyone other than Holman. I'm embarrassed. Malaguena is not even in the Cuban Fire Suite(which is by Johnny Richards) My mind was processing on La Suerte de Los Tontos, which should be done a bit more often, another great chart. I stand by the rest of my previous statements but strike that remark, no Johnny Richards involvement in Malaguena!!! Thanks Mike for settin me straight.

Grumpy Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I personally prefer the '95 Madison version of Malaga...one of my all-time favorites tunes in drum corps. I have heard other corps attempt it, including some DCA corps, but no one else seems to be able to put into it what the '95 Scouts did. I can remember the first time I ever heard them perform it, at quarterfinals in Buffalo-and I turned to my friends and said "FOURTH???? How in the #### did THAT come in FOURTH???!!!!"
