Product Description

Same piece arranged for sax quintet.

The tango is just a little over a hundred years old, so it seems fitting that we should celebrate by offering one here.

This piece starts simply enough, beginning with a very standard tango opening in unison. The tuba and trombone then begin the bass line, and the two trumpets and the horn come in with a simple melody over the top.

For the B section, the three upper voices break into parts in flowing harmony over the bass line.

The transition features the horn on a high melody, with the trumpets playing a little latin-sounding answer over the top.

The B section repeats, then the A section, and we're done.

This piece is written for two trumpets, french horn, trombone, and tuba.

MP3 sound sample: entire piece (synthesizer/midi).
