The march 'Vale de Cambra' was commissioned on the occasion of the centenary celebration of the band of Vale de Cambra (Portugal). Conducted by the composer, was premiered in October 2011, in Vale de Cambra, with about hundred musicians. It begins with a fanfare, rhythmical, thence to the first section, which traditionally develops. With a grand final, as is fitting for a celebration as important as a centenarian, the march creates either in the audience and in the musicians, and during all its duration, an effect of power and excitement to which no one stays indifferent.
