“A Tango in Birmingham? Absolutely!”
This is such a good piece! It captures all the essence of a tango, is written to be played by mixed abilities with something for everyone, and is short and to the point so it's practically perfect. A Tango in Birmingham? Absolutely!
From the Publisher
An unapologetically "tangoey" Tango, first conceived as a warm-up piece for a group of over 150 flautists at the Birmingham Flute Choir Festival in March 2024, and here presented in a slightly smaller, more accessible version, without the Contra Flutes. The strident minor key 'A' section featuring, initially, the 1st and 2nd Flutes alternates with a more dolce, lyrical 'B' theme, which is first presented by the 4th Flutes and Alto Flutes. Everybody gets a chance for melodic material though, and there is plenty to work on in term of dynamics, articulation and style. Very enjoyable to play, and to listen to!
Performance duration (approx): 2'45
