Azusa Pacific University Wind Ensemble: Huapango by José Pablo Moncayo

Huapango by José Pablo Moncayo arr. Justin Freer & Abel Saldivar Ramirez - - Huapango was written in 1941 by José Pablo Moncayo, at the age of twenty-nine. A composer and conductor from Guadalajara, Moncayo was inspired by the folk-songs he collected while traveling the villages in Veracruz. It was during these excursions that he encountered this type of dance called Huapango. The name derives from the corruption of the Nahuatl word Huapanco, which translates to “on top of the wooden plank,” a more loose translation, “on the dance floor.” His setting is based on three Huapangos he heard on his trip: El Siquisiri, El Balaju and El Gavilancito. - - Dr. Abel Saldivar Ramirez,​ Guest Conductor Associate Professor of Music, Dr. Abel Saldivar Ramirez holds the Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Conducting from UCLA, an MME from Texas A&M University-Kingsville and a BME from the University Texas at San Antonio.
