Composed by A.G. Villoldo, Francia Luban (Spanish), and Marjorie Harper (English). Arranged by Derek Hasted. 20th Century. Score and parts. 13 pages. Derek Hasted #457329. Published by Derek Hasted (A0.850659).For Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.
Derek Hasted writes "Said by some to be the definitive Tango, this piece has been recorded by musicians the world over and it positively exudes energy.
This arrangement, for two guitars, swaps the tune and accompaniment between the two players at every phrase boundary.
(Please note that I have also produced a separate trio arrangement which suits a mixed ability group or large ensemble - the tune is the same but the accompaniment is easier).
There are plenty of opportunities for volume changes and tone changes, and I hope you’ll experiment and find something for your ensemble that makes the performance “yours”. Indeed, across the performances on YouTube there are different rhythms at certain points in the tune - notes that are aggressively aggressively in one version might be teased longer in another - the choices are yours to make - the soundclip on the SMP website shows you what I mean by a tight articulation compared to the score.
The entire piece can be played twice through if desired.
I hope you enjoy playing this piece!"
