This piece was written to celebrate the Loudoun County Public Schools' orchestra's inaugural school year. Administration, staff, families, and students worked tirelessly to bring orchestral music to the schools. Kevin R. Berdine's Loudon Tango was chosen by the students as dance music had been their favorite music to play. Written in the string friendly key of D minor, this lively tango includes interesting parts for all sections and an idiomatic percussion ensemble accompaniment. (3:00).
