By Rodrigo y Gabriela. Arranged by David McKeown. Score. 6 pages. Published by David McKeown (H0.770947-SC003545329).Libertango is perhaps the most famous composition by Argentinian composer and performer, Astor Piazzollo. He grew up playing Bandoneon in the Tango tradition but his later studies in classical music and jazz led him to experiment with harmony, form, instrumentation and improvisation. Piazzollo’s 1974 album, of which Libertango is the title track, represented the maturation of this new style, “Nuevo Tango”. Libertango has been covered many times in many different ways, by artists as diverse as Grace Jones and Sharon Shannon.
This version of LIbertango is arranged as a duet for one Violin and one Cello, and follows the structure of the original 1974 orchestral version.
Musicians at an intermediate level will find this ideal for formal and informal concert performance. The overall performance time is around two and a half minutes. The full length performance on the YouTube link above is the Clarinet version of this duet.
Teachers will enjoy using this arrangement as a fun way to help with ensemble skills and expressive playing.
