* Cuban Ouverture
Cuban Overture is a symphonic overture or tone poem for orchestra. Originally titled Rumba, it was a result of a two-week holiday which Gershwin took in Havana, Cuba in February 1932. Gershwin composed the piece in July and August 1932. The overture is dominated by Caribbean rhythms and Cuban native percussion, with a wide spectrum of instrumental color and technique.

Maurice Ravel
* Bolero
Boléro is a one-movement orchestral piece by the French composer Maurice Ravel (1875–1937). Originally composed as a ballet commissioned by Russian actress and dancer Ida Rubinstein, the piece, which premiered in 1928, is Ravel’s most famous musical composition.
For a number of reasons he then changed his mind again and decided to write a completely new piece based on the musical form and Spanish dance called bolero.
