Welcome to Intermezzo from Interlochen Public Radio, where we take a few minutes to bounce some ideas around about classical music.
Christy L'Esperance is cohosting this week with Peter Parra, a Lang Lang Young Scholar pianist who also happens to be a top ten national ranking competitive junior ballroom dancer.
This week, we'll learn about Latin Dances. Yesterday, we learned about the Rhumba. Today, we'll be exploring the Paso Doble.
There is one song that's synonymous with the Paso Doble, and countless arrangements of that song. It's called "España Cañi" and it was composed by Pascual Marquina Narro.

This week's Mystery Melody
It's time to test your ears. Each week we have a mystery melody that we have to figure out together. It relates to our topic. (We'll make the melody less mysterious each day.)
If you know the mystery melody, text your name and the title and we’ll give you a shout out on Friday. The number to text is (833) 490-4718.
