Chacontango

Immerse yourself in a captivating soundscape where baroque elegance meets passionate South American fire: "Chacontango", published by June Emerson Edition, is a magnificent tribute to the legendary Astor Piazzolla. This extraordinary work for low woodwind ensemble brilliantly blends the stately form of an 18th-century chaconne with the intoxicating dance rhythms and yearning harmonies of the tango nuevo.

Scored for five bassoons and contrabassoon, the composition unfolds an incomparable sonic depth, rhythmic drive, and virtuosic flair. The deep resonance of the contrabassoon combined with the agile bassoon voices creates a thrilling concert experience for performers and audiences alike.

This edition includes the full score and all individual parts – an essential repertoire highlight for any ambitious bassoon ensemble!
