The Bandes desentaforades series collection was born with the aim of recovering from oblivion quality works of renowned Mallorcan composers who rest, hidden, in the archives of the various bands of the island. These are original handwritten works for music band or arrangements, which once were hits, but have been left in a corner, due to the lack of easy-to-read published materials adapted to the reality of today’s wind bands.
Mallorca Canta is a concert piece with pasodoble influences based on a series of popular music. The rhapsody begins and ends with the melody of the Parado de Valldemossa and alternates other themes, including the melody of Sa ximbomba ja no sona.
