Astor Piazzolla: Milonga del Angel: (Arr. Sverre Stakston Olsrud): Brass Band et Solo

This arrangement was made after hearing Astor Piazzolla’s 1986 recording of his own work written in 1965. The original instrumentation of bandoneon, violin and string bass is here arranged for three wind soloists with Concert Band. The Eb Cornet is the main soloist (filling the bandoneon role), while the trombone and Solo Bb Cornet shares the violin part as a kind of flirting undertone to the Eb Cornet. It’s not possible to make a 100% correct notation of the solo parts, so it’s recommended to listen to the record album “Zero Hour” from 1986 to get the best impression of the work. Enjoy “Milonga Del Angel” and imagine a small, dark cafè in Buenos Aires!
