Tango, for 3 Recorders and Piano

Brian Bonsor (1926-2011): Tango, para 3 flautas de pico y piano. = for Descant, Treble and Tenor Recorders and Piano.


Some light composers are "specialists" in the sense that they write for one particular instrument. An example is Brian Bonsor, to whom recorder ensembles are very much in debt for the many arrangements he makes for them and the catchy dance movements he has composed: such things as Beguine, Rumba, Tango, Hoe-Down and Fiesta. Tango is an evocative study in recorder sonorities and the most mature in style of all the dance pieces.
