80-vuotisjuhlasävellyskilpailun (2007) jaettu kolmospalkinto. In
the words of the composer: "You can imagine Tango Sabroso
is like a traditional tango n g minor, but section C gives the surprise: Tango
changes into latin music. Timpani,
marimba and drums are replaced with congas, guiro and claves (three
percussionists is enough). It
is not worth looking for perfect latin
figures, but tango orchestra is supposed to reach Sabroso
(spanish) feel, which means sapid. The melody in
section C is variying in trumpet, euphonium and
clarinet parts. In
the last section C with modulations, the beautiful contrapunctual
play joins the sabroso feel." A divided 3rd prize in the
aforementioned Turku 2007 contest. BUY PDF: http://www.finnbandshop.com/product_info.php?products_id=107&language=fi Winter
