Review
This is a very colorful and melodic ensemble in the characteristic Mexican style. Of the six parts, four require keyboard instruments (bells, marimba, xylophone, and chimes). Substitutions, it would seem, could be effectively made and in fact the part for bells might sound more in character on vibes or another marimba. In many of these new (and to be encouragedl) ensembles using keyboard instruments composers seem to be writing "safely" for only one keyboard instrument or one of each kind. This should not deter groups with greater resources from changing, doubling or filling in parts to achieve a fuller, more characteristic sould. With the current "TiJuana" popularity, the future looks bright for the keyboard percussion instruments in this colorful style, and it is encouraging that composers are writing works for school groups that feature this new melodic approach to percussion! - Vol. 6 No. 1, 1967[1]
