A couple dancing the Huapango

This fugue is in the pattern of a traditional Mexican dance – in hemiola rhythm, 6/8 alternating with 3/4.

The instruments portrayed in the four voices are an English horn (played a few octaves above normal), a clarinet, a tenor sax, and baritone saxes playing in octaves.
