Amparito Roca was composed in 1925 by Spanish musician, conductor and composer Jaime Teixidor. Its first performance took place in September of 1925 in the theater El Siglo in the town of Carlet where the composer lived at the time. It is a pasodoble and one of the better known pieces of Spanish music around the world. The score was published in Madrid later in 1925 by Música Moderna. Paso Dobles
became very popular with U.S. Bands throughout the sixties and a few of those, including Amparita Roca have remained a part of established concert band repertoire.
