Chamber Music Work of the Day, Installment 32:

Quick Tango in Five

for

Saxophone Quartet

(2023)

Created for a call for one-minute scores composed for saxophone quartet and inspired by Argentinian tangos, "Quick Tango in Five" combines dance rhythms, melodic contours, and harmonies often associated with them in 5/8 time. The result is a complete one-minute tango. Were dancers to ever to dance to this they might find themselves moving angularly rather than smoothly! 😊 Play! ¡Sonar!
