For this assignment I am going to be analyzing the piece “Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White”. The writer Prado was called “The King of the Mambo” and according to Rolling Stone he was responsible for helping popularize the Cuban- originated genre in America with this particular song.
The song itself is very rhythmic and upbeat with a couple of different ideas throughout. The first idea (Idea A) is repeated twice at the beginning of the piece up until :36. Idea B is then repeated twice until :53. At 1:03 a piano enters the chorus, and then at 1:51 a flute enters and gives a lot softer of a feeling to the music. Once the flute entered the music picked up pace and the bass and drums weren’t as apparent. The mood and dynamics changed once
