Course of musical interpretation
of group tango 13-22 September 2000
PROGRAM
- Analysis of the performance of the traditional
tango, romance tango and modern tango, with particular reference to the way
in which simple traditional melodies can acquire a different expressive content
through the creation of "modern" harmonies and rhythms. Analysis
of the poetry of the tango so as to achieve a greater understanding of style
and expression.
- Performance of pieces of traditional,
romance and modern tango arranged for groups consisting of: bandonèon,
2 violins, viola, cello, double bass and piano. Persons attending the course
will work on the expressiveness deriving from the use of melodic embellishments,
on the style relative to the period of the piece and to the type of arrangement,
on rhythmic progression and rubato phrasing, on the importance of accents
and of the characteristic effects of the tango, on improvisation in solo passages.
The course will consist of 10 lessons of
3 hours each, with the formation of instrumental groups corresponding to the
requirements of the different pieces of music. At the conclusion of the course
(22 September), participants will give a concert free of charge for the citizens
of San Ginesio.
