Written in the style of an Argentinean tango and featuring strong rhythmic underpinning, violins, violas and cellos each have a turn at playing the original melody while the basses play a tango rhythm. Alternating between the keys of D minor and D major, Toucan Tango is designed to make an intermediate or advance beginning orchestra sound its best. In first position with no shifting, two (or more) really can tango!

Performed by the Alfred Studio Orchestra
