Tangos: Piano: Instrumental Album

The Syncopated Piano Music-This collection showcases the syncopated piano music of Latin American during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It features Latin rhythms which are really African rhythms brought to the Americas by slaves and appliedto the music of the European colonists. These rhythms are varied and complex and so is their history. They've had a widespread and profound influence on the evolution of popular music not only in Latin America but also in theUnited States. The most obvious offshoots are the tango in Argentine and Uruguay and most of the other popular dances of South and Central America as well as ragtime and jazz in the United States. Jelly Roll Morton claimed this'Latin tinge' is the essential element that distinguishes jazz from ragtime. These rhythms are the musical roots of groups like 'The Buena Vista Social Club.' Includes historic tangos written by Ignacio Cervantes - Cuba Manuel Saumell - Cuba Juan Morel Campos - Puerto Rico Jose Quinton - Puerto Rico Ernesto Nazareth -Brazil Tomas Leon - Mexico Sebastian Yradier - Spain Eduardo Sanchez du Fuentas - Cuba Will Tyers - USA Vincente Greco -Argentina Anselmo Rosendo (Mendizabal) - Argentina Angel Villoldo - Argentina Eduardo Arolas - Argentina Juan Maglio - Argentina

Piano Solo-Animals In Concert - Three pieces for Piano solo by Per Nørgård.Programme Note 1. A Tortoise´s Tango (1984) - dur.: 4´  2. Light of a Night - Paul meets bird (1989) - dur.: 6´  3. Hermit Crab Tango - Esperanza (1997) - dur.: 5´  The pieces can be performed together or one by one. In the1980s quite a few 'finds' turned up in Per Nørgård's music. The material could be say a number of song birds' equilibrist melodic lines the overtones of the ocean surf or waltzing themes by theschizophrenic artist Adolf Wölfli (1864-1930). Or again as heard here it can be the rhythms and motifs of the tango and a Beatles song (with bird) explored in three independent piano pieces that form the Animals in Concert suite about which the composer writes:  'A Tortoise´s Tango': The tortoise as tango dancer must presumably possess certain rhythmic peculiarities which I have chosen to express by letting the tune of the tortoise shuffle broadly tripartite through the strict four partite time of tango.  Tortoise Tango was the original title of this piece 'written for Achilles' (the pianist Yvar Mikhashoff) for his so called tango project' including new tangos for piano by composers from all over the world.  'Light of a Night (Paul meets bird)' was commissioned by pianist Aki Takahashi. It is a 'reworked' arrangement for piano of the Beatles song 'Blackbird'. As some of us will recall the Beatles on 'The White Album' let the beautiful song to the blackbird be accompanied by an (apparently) live blackbird song. It is this authentic bird-motif world that in 'Light of a Night' weaves itself into the Beatles melody and in turn is gradually infected by it so that a completely new third entity ensues: a kind of Bird-rock ballad (or maybe it is a Beatle-bird?).
