Tinsel and Tango

Light pizzicato textures set the tone throughout this playful holiday tango for string orchestra, blending Good King Wenceslas and Deck the Halls. Running eighth notes pass through the sections, supporting steady ensemble pulse while allowing focus on intonation, dynamics, and early extensions. Written entirely in pizzicato, it keeps colors light and provides focused practice with the technique. A lively holiday option that reinforces rhythmic steadiness and ensemble cohesion in a fresh tango style.
