Folio - If you get tangled up, just Tango On! for Clarinet, Cello, and
If you get tangled up, just Tango On! by Cynthia Folio for Clarinet, Cello, and Piano. Commissioned by the Network for New Music and premiered at the Germantown Settlement Music School on December 7, 2024 on a program entitled "Dance".
From the composer: "While I am primarily a musician, I have always loved to watch dancers. For the past two years, my husband and I have been taking ballroom dance lessons and our favorite is the Tango. The rhythm of the tango is highly syncopated, especially featuring a 3+3+2 rhythm within 4/4 time. It is also an intimate dance, where the partners are connected by hips and chest, so that they can anticipate one another’s moves."
Instrumentation:
- Clarinet
- Cello
- Piano
