Tangoesque—John McAllister. Engaging and
exciting, this piece designed for young band
players perfectly captures the essence of tango
music. It highlights the harmonic and melodic
components of tango, featuring musical contrasts
in both style and dynamics along with characteristic
weak beat accents. While not a formal tango,
hence "Tangoesque," it hints at the style and
elements, providing a delightful introduction
to this passionate genre and showcasing the
vibrant musical traditions of Argentina. Students
will enjoy exploring the rhythmic and expressive
nuances that make it so captivating. The piece
has a loosely AABA structure, with an introduction
and a short development section following the B
section. Each section includes moments of both
melody and accompaniment, which allows for
teaching balance and keeps the players engaged.
There is ample opportunity to teach dynamics and
dynamic contrast throughout. Fun and unique to
play, it also serves as a great teaching tool for
young musicians!

of eerie apprehension which increase in tension
as they build into heavy, raucous statements with
great intensity. The Dies Irae theme pops in and
out of the texture, introducing a sinister motif that
indicates something much darker. Unique and
colorful! (2:40)
