El Mariachi Gringo, Dr. Daniel Thrower

Composed by Dr. Daniel Thrower. Duration: 3:00. "El Mariachi Gringo" begins as a high brass trio with a grand Mexican theme, replete with typically virtuosic motifs. In lieu of the strong mariachi singer, the trombone takes the vocal spot accompanied by a guitarrón-type line in the tuba, punctuated by the high brass, after which the introductory theme returns, this time accentuated by underlying flashes in the low brass. With a twist of artistry, the piece simmers down to a slight pause, after which the tuba begins a soft rendition of the guitarrón accompaniment. The other themes enter in succession until they all sound simultaneously, climaxing to an exciting frenzy to end the piece.
