Cuban Scenery and Figurations is a composition for tape and atypical chamber orchestra composed in 2008 - 2009 as part of the requirements for the Doctoral degree in Music Composition at Florida State University. This is a documentation of the implementation of electronic processing in the work. Cuban Scenery and Figurations was inspired as a result of studying a piano piece entitled La Comparsa. Created in 1933 by a Cuban composer named Ernesto Lecuona, the title embodies a traditional parade and ceremony participated in by the community during the annual Cuban Carnival season. This popular celebration unifies the rich, poor, black, and white people from society and is enriched by distinctive Cuban melodies, rhythms, and exotic percussion instruments. Similar to the comparsa procession, the compositions represents the concept of a Carnival parade; as the music slowly moves toward the audience, it brings all the enthusiasm until the last notes of the departing parade disappear in the distance.
A Dissertation submitted to the College of Music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Music.
