Tango (1985)
for Tenor and Chamber Ensemble Texts from News Clippings and Sermons (1913–14)
G. Schirmer, Inc. New York, NY
Program Notes Tango was commissioned by the National Endowment for the Arts for a consortium of New Music groups: Voices of Change (Dallas), The Chicago Ensemble and the Twentieth-Century Consort (Washington D.C.). Tango has been recorded twice: in English, with Paul Sperry and members of the San Diego Symphony (Albany, TROY 740) and in Spanish, with Rafael Alvarez and Voices of Change (CRI, CD 824), both conducted by the composer. Following its Dallas premiere, featuring Paul Sperry, Wayne Lee Gay (Fort Worth StarTelegram) wrote “Tango presents, with both musical and verbal humor, the triumph of sensuality and frivolity over clerical pomposity. It is a light-hearted piece by a very serious composer and, as such, may well prove to be one of the treasures of our time.” Tango (1985) is a one-act comic opera for tenor and chamber ensemble. The text was compiled by the composer from actual news clippings, letters and sermons from the height of the tango craze (1913–14). There are three short scenes played without pause. In scene one the tenor enters as an elegant tango dancer, then quickly changes character and becomes a radio newscaster, reporting worldwide reactions to the tango, both favorable (tango teas, parties, baths and massages) and unfavorable (declared a crime in Boston and a sin in Rome). In scene two the tenor again changes character and becomes Cardinal Basilio Pompili, Vicar of Rome, as he declaims a thunderous sermon officially denouncing the tango in the name of Pope Pius X, but occasionally getting caught up in the tango spirit in spite of himself. In the final scene the tenor resumes his newscaster character and reports on the attempts to reform the tango into a more respectable dance called “The Paragon,” with numerous rules for avoiding physical contact between the partners. He impersonates a dance instructor and demonstrates the paragon, but is gradually drawn back to the tango as he exits in his original character as a tango dancer. The score of Tango evokes the sounds of a typical cabaret ensemble of violin, piano and accordion with prominent solo passages for those instruments. Further tango atmosphere is achieved by the use of several quotations of familiar classics (Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1, Bach’s “My Heart Ever Faithful,” Schubert’s Piano Trio in E Major and Brahms’ Symphony No. 4) arranged in tango style. Also quoted are the medieval Mass of Tournai, which is used to represent the Vatican, and the “Minuet” from Mozart’s Don Giovanni, which is, in its original setting, used to accompany Don Giovanni’s romantic exploits in the ballroom scene, but is here employed to represent the “properly danced” paragon. As in Mozart’s opera, the minuet is accompanied by three contrasting dances: in this case three tangos, in different instrumental colors and in different meters, which gradually envelop the minuet.

The Cardinal’s letter is the most energetic of all those so far published with reference to the tango. It is understood that the Pope edited the letter, which was originally drafted in even more vehement language. All the Bishops of Italy have now forbidden the dancing of the tango. They are establishing severe penances for Catholics not complying with the order. La carta del Cardenal es la más enérgica de todas las publicadas hasta ahora con referencia al tango. Está entendido que el Papa revisó la carta, escrita originalmente en lenguaje aun más vehemente. Todos los obispos de Italia han prohibido que se baile el tango y están infligiendo severas penitencias a las personas católicas que no acaten la orden.
