Tango cancion

This collection of Argentinean tangos for either high voice or medium-low voice and piano offers a cross section of tango across the ages, from the beginnings through the Gardel era, the golden age and tango nuevo (of Piazzolla and others), right up to contemporary compositions, creating a perfect tango concert program. Whether used within a song recital, as encores, or as music for dance events, the repertoire is completely versatile and suitable for singers from all backgrounds. Arranged by Argentinean composer, pianist, and tango expert Juan María Solare, these songs retain an authentic tango sound while making the vocal and piano writing approachable, especially by those unfamiliar with the repertoire. Also included are: additional information and performance tips that help performers achieve the passion of tango; a cross section of Argentinean tangos from the beginning up to the present day; easier and intermediate-level pieces, with practical piano accompaniments; and introductions to each song, translations of the lyrics, and a guide to pronunciation.
