Tango
Traicionero, by Kirt
Mosier, means treacherous
tango. The tango is a
Latin dance that first
developed in Buenos
Aires, Argentina, in the
mid-19th century. Imagine
a gathering of bohemian
nomads and workers having
a dance party in the
streets. There is a
natural tension in this
tango which mirrors the
intoxicating nighttime
atmosphere. All orchestra
sections work together to
perform slides and shifts
between notes of the
melodic figures to add
intrigue to the sound. A
lively middle section
builds to a key change
and recapitulation. The
work culminates with
tense chords to an
exciting finish.
(3:40).
