Misatango Matinee - Chandos Choir Solihull - 18.11.23

Misa a Buenos Aires (Misatango) - Martin Palimeri. Conducted by Leon James. Bandoneon: Julian Rowlands, Piano: Iain Jackson, Soprano: Linnea Markgren, Double Bass: Ben Markland.
Argentinian composer Martin Palimeri (b. 1965) composed a traditional Latin mass using tango themes and orchestration involving the bandoneon in 1995-96 for the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional de Cuba, the Choir of the Law Faculty of the University of Buenos Aires and the Polyphonic Choir of the City of Vicente López in Argentina. It is good fun, and was a ambitious choice for the afternoon concert by this Solihull based amateur choir. The mass was the second half of the concert, the first was a collection of works by Piazzolla and other South American composers.
