Tango d?Elinora is an exciting original composition by David McKeown, arranged as a duet for one Flute and one Alto Saxophone.

This duet is written in the style of early twentieth century Tango music. Tango first appeared as in the late nineteenth century in Buenos Aires, Argentina, but it wasn?t long before the dance craze spread to North America and Europe. Performers like Carlos Gardel were the international superstars of their day. More recently the Nuevo Tango of Astor Piazzolla and others has pushed the boundaries and ensured that Tango is still a vibrant art form today.

If you play to an intermediate standard and upwards, then you and your audience will enjoy this piece. Rhythms should be lightly articulated with the first beat in the bar always strong; the melody should always flow and following the articulation in the score will help convey the style. Tango d?Elinora has a performance time of just under three minutes. Follow the link above to listen to a complete YouTube performance of the Clarinet version of Tango d?Elinora.
