CHAMBER ENSEMBLE WITH RECORDERS
Program Notes:
The Tango, besides being a passionate dance, also carries other connotations. It is associated with parting, death, and sadness. "After a Tango" portrays these elements without attempting to mimic the gestures of the traditional dance. Nevertheless, the attentive listener will discern fragments and reminiscences of Argentinean Tango within it. The instrumentation suggests Tango sonorities, thanks to the violin, guitar, double bass, and percussion. Additionally, a consort of three recorders acts as a Greek Chorus, reflecting the music played by the other instruments.
