This dance-band-style original by Leroy Anderson was ranked the #1 song of 1952. Its charismatic melody, traditional tango style, and subtle blues influences captured the spirit of the era, and it became a worldwide sensation. This arrangement for handbells, handchimes, and optional snare drum is a faithful rendition of the original, with a continuously malleted bass line, the melody played on chimes, and the countermelody in the upper treble bells. Grace notes are used extensively, along with TD, RT, mallets, mallet rolls, and gentle syncopation, making Blue Tango a perfect novelty for any concert performance!
