MARCH OF CRISTOBAL OUDRID VIA EL SITIOS DE ZARAGOZA
Cristóbal Oudrid
(1825 - 77)
Cristóbal Oudrid arrived in Madrid, taking lessons from the teacher-composer Baltasar Saldoni, earning his living as a pianist whilst writing (according to the critic Antonio Peña y Goni) salon pieces for that instrument.
His work is now almost forgotten, though the jota taken from his incidental music for the actor Juan Lombia’s play El sitio de Zaragoza(The Siege of Zaragoza) remains a staple of the wind band repertoire. What remains is the memory of a provocative, bohemian personality who cared more for pragmatic music making than theory or technique – a choice which may account for the fact that his once-popular body of work has sunk almost without trace. Yet the recent revival of Buenas noches señor Don Simón raised questions about the justice of this. The score proved to be uncomplicated without being trivial, melodically graceful and theatrically intelligent. Its musical personality came across as less Italianate than that of his better-known contemporaries, intriguingly closer in spirit to the work of the later género chico composers. Whether this is true of his larger-scale zarzuelas remains to be seen, but Oudrid’s music is certainly a prime candidate for modern revaluation.

ENJOY WITH PASODOBLE ESPANA CANI
España Cañí mean "Gipsy Spain" in Spanish language is a famous instrumental Spanish piece of pasodoble music by Pascual Marquina Narro (1873-1948). The song was written around 1925. It is also known as the Spanish Gypsy Dance.Besides its traditional use as background music in bullfights in Spain and elsewhere, it is sometimes played to arouse local crowds in baseball matches in the United States. The Beatles in their early club days in Liverpool played the song.It is often used by the Hawthorne Caballeros Drum and Bugle Corps as a closer.Several arrangements of the tune are often used for the ballroom Paso Doble dance.
