A lyrical mariachi waltz entirely in first position! Imagine a father holding his precious newborn girl, all the while, visions of her Quinceañera (15th birthday celebration) dance through his mind. The Quinceañera is an important celebration in the Mexican American community, where the girl is given her last doll and dances a waltz (vals) with her father. The easy finger patterns, cross-cultural themes and opportunities for each section to play the melody make this a perfect first ensemble piece! (1:50)
