[EN]El Camino Real ('The Royal Road' or 'The Kings Highway') was commissioned by the 581st Air Force Band and its commander, Lt. Col. Ray E. Toler. This fantasy is based on a series of Spanish folkmelodies and underscored by chord progressions used by generations of flamenco guitarists, whose fiery style and brilliant playing have created a vast body of what many consider authentic Spanish music.

The music follows a traditional fast-slow-fast pattern, with a first section that is based on the dance form known as the jota, and second contrasting section derived from the fandango.
[DE]El Camino Real ('The Royal Road' oder 'The Kings Highway') wurde von der 581. Air Force Band und ihrem Kommandanten, Lt. Col. Ray E. Toler. Diese Fantasie basiert auf einer Reihe von spanischen Folkmelodien und wird durch Akkordfolgen unterstrichen, die von Generationen von Flamencogitarristen verwendet werden, deren feuriger Stil und brillantes Spiel einen großen Teil dessen geschaffen haben, was viele für authentische spanische Musik halten.

Die Musik folgt einem traditionellen schnell-langsamen-schnellen Muster, mit einem ersten Abschnitt, der auf der Tanzform Jota basiert, und einem zweiten kontrastierenden Abschnitt, der vom Fandango abgeleitet ist.
