Wonderful Winds presents 'The Birmingham Tango' for flute orchestra by M. Orriss. 

An unapologetically 'tangoey' Tango, written as a warm-up piece for a group of over 150 flautists at the Birmingham Flute Choir Festival in March 2024. The strident minor key 'A' section featuring, initially, the 1st and 2nd flutes alternates with a more dolce, lyrical 'B' theme, which is first presented by the 3rd flutes and alto flutes. Everybody gets a chance for melodic material though, and there is plenty to work on in term of dynamics, articulation, and style. Very enjoyable to play and to listen to!
