Musician's or Publisher's Notes
Three Tangos
Adiós Noniňo (arr. Tejo); Oblivion (arr. Fourmeau); Libertango (arr. Tejo/Murphy)
Astor Piazzolla is considered the greatest master of the Argentinean tango. His tangos are marked by graceful themes, aggressive rhythms, and a simple charm. He composed Adiós Noniňo, one of his most famous works, in 1959. During a tour of Central America, Piazzolla received news of the sudden death of his father, don Vicente Piazzolla, who was nicknamed "Noniňo." Returning from the tour, Astor wrote Adiós Noniňo in New York City. Oblivion was written for the movie Henry IV; however, it grew in popularity when it was used during a figure skating competition. Libertango became popular when it was used in a television commercial. It has been arranged in a number of ways, including a performance in rock style by Piazzolla. In addition, the modern jazz pianist, Chick Corea, has recorded a version of Libertango for solo piano. O. Murphy
