The heroic and powerful Fanfarria, Op.50 was commissioned and premiered by the Alicante Municipal Concert Band in 2012 to commemorate their first centennial. The main epic theme is introduced by the trumpets and developed through the appearance of the different band sections in counterpoint. Finally, a briljant coda that builds to a final apotheosis ends the composition, which was also written to celebrate the completion of fifty compositions in Perez Garrido´s opus collection.
