Beautiful Music NOW – July 19, 2023

Histoire du Tango (composed in 1985) is a classic composition by the Argentine tango composer, bandoneon player, and arranger Astor Piazzolla. It is a four-movement piece that chronicles the history of tango music in segments of thirty-year intervals: Bordel 1900, Cafe 1930, Nightclub 1960, and Modern-Day Concert. Piazzolla composed it for flute and guitar, but it is performed in many different instrumentations. Today’s Beautiful Music features a violin and marimba performance of Histoire du Tango by violinist Jiweon Moon and marimba player Sun-min Shim.
