An unapologetically "tangoey" Tango, written as a warm-up piece for a group of over 150 flautists at the Birmingham Flute Choir Festival in March 2024. The strident minor key 'A' section featuring, initially, the 1st and 2nd Flutes alternates with a more dolce, lyrical 'B' theme, which is first presented by the 3rd Flutes and Alto Flutes. Everybody gets a chance for melodic material though, and there is plenty to work on in term of dynamics, articulation and style. Very enjoyable to play, and to listen to!
