It Takes Four To Tango (Flute Quartet) by Daniel Dorff, Published by Theodore Presser Company. For 2 C Flutes, Alto Flute (Or 3 C Flutes), and Bass Flute A perennial and sultry fav orite already published for clarinet (114-40871), saxophone (114-40870), bassoon (114-40872), and string quartets (114-40942), It Takes Four to Tango is Dorff’s most-recorded composition. This arrangement was created by the composer for the San Diego-based Flutes de Salon. For advanced ensembles. Dur.: 2’30” REVIEWS"a short, sweet exploration of Latin rhythms and jazz harmonies for classical players... The top line is a great study in long, sustained lines and ease in the high register; the other three parts are a great test of internal pulse and rhythmic accuracy. This piece could easily be added to a program as a little treat for the audience with minimal rehearsal time required. The parts and score are nicely printed and easy to read. – The Flutist Quarterly (Nicole Riner), Spring 2012 "It is a wonderful little soprano saxophone feature. You could program this anywhere on a concert, either on its own or right after Fast Walk, for example. It can be played "straight" as written, or more inflected in a jazz style." – Saxophone Journal (Susan Fancher), September/October 2007 "... a short, rhythmically angular piece, very chromatic, that requires considerable dexterity, both digital and rhythmic." – Music Teacher (UK), August 1998 "This is just a funky two-minute tango with strong rhythm (of course) and chromatic, angular melody. Every member of the group needs to be rhythmically secure but it won't work unless the first violinist can carry the whole thing with a burst of personality." – Music Teacher (UK), (Robert Max), July 1999 Show more
