APOLLO CHAMBER PLAYERS
Anabel Ramirez Detrick, violin I | Matthew J. Detrick, violin II | Whitney Bullock, viola | Matthew Dudzik, cello
PROGRAM NOTE
Piazzolla wrote the Tango Ballet, an example of the nuevo tango, as a film score (for a dance film since lost) in 1956. The work was originally scored for an eight-person ensemble he just recently had organized consisting of two violins, cellist, bass, two bandoneons, piano, and electric guitar. Recorded in 1964 and 1989, the work caught on especially as arranged alternately for string quartet and string orchestra, although it has been arranged for solo piano and other instrumental ensembles as well. The work is in six continuous movements: “Titulos” (“Titles”), “La calle” (“The street”), “Encuentro- Olvido”(“Meeting—Oblivion”),“Cabaret,”“Soldead”(“Loneliness”),and“Lacalle.” Thework,whoseform and program vaguely resembles Gershwin’s An American in Paris for orchestra, unfolds a fast-slow-fast- slow-fast design, with “Encuentro” and “Soldead” constituting the slow sections.
