Description
Quite possibly the most famous tango ever written, La Cumparsita is presented here in a quintessential brass band arrangement by Norman Tailor. This version captures the dramatic “staccato” intensity and the passionate, sweeping melodic gestures of the Argentine tango. Tailor’s orchestration emphasizes the dark, rich colors of the lower brass and the sharp, articulate brilliance of the cornets. it is an essential “mood” piece for any program, providing a sophisticated and world-class touch of South American culture.
