Summary of This Score
This score brings together 14 pieces with a highly evocative character, reflecting the spirit of tango and associated dances (milonga, more "song-like" or "overture" passages), with a strong theatrical dimension. The collection particularly highlights the construction of atmospheres: rhythmic tension, rubato breathing when needed, typical accentuation, and playing with dynamic contrasts. Several titles are explicitly linked to stage music, notably "Famille d'artistes" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream," which adds a variety of soundscapes and a natural narration throughout the pieces.
The contents include: "La mort du canard (from Famille d'artistes)," "Tango final (from Famille d'artistes)," "Artisane 1 (from A Midsummer Night's Dream)," "Sentimantal (from Famille d'artistes)," "Sensuel (from A Midsummer Night's Dream)," "El viaje (The journey)," "Milonga (from A Midsummer Night's Dream)," "Artisane 2 (from A Midsummer Night's Dream)," "Pedro y Pedro," "Dansée (from A Midsummer Night's Dream)," "La chanson du Popo (from Famille d'artistes)," "Ouverture (from Famille d'artistes)," "Puck arrabal (from A Midsummer Night's Dream)," "Chanson de la naissance (from Famille d'artistes)."
Thanks to this diversity, this collection is particularly suited for musicians wishing to enrich their interpretation in a dancing and expressive style, working on rhythmic precision, clarity of accents, and color palette. It can also serve as repertoire material to build a short program, alternating character pieces and more lyrical pages.
