TANGO TRIO Op.71
for violin, clarinet and piano (also Violin, cello and piano, cl, cello and pno and oboe cello and pno, ob bn pno) - 2002
TANGO TRIO was written in 2002 in New York. It was premiered at the Chautauqua Music Festival that summer by the New Arts Trio. The work evokes Argentine-Uruguayan tango idioms, recalling especially the neo-romantic and sentimental style of the early tango period between 1910 and 1940. The musical language is intense, dramatic and direct, becoming at times melodramatic and humorous.
Written as an homage to Tango, TANGO TRIO does not follow the form, rhythm or style of the traditional Argentine dance, nor that of Piazzolla’s “Nuevo tango”. It is more often an abstraction of the dance that contains elements from a broader spectrum of Latin American dances such as Brazilian Samba, and Uruguayan Milonga and Candombe. The piano often provides the sharp rhythmic beat characteristic of this dance, but occasionally blurs the beat with turbulent, virtuosic arpeggios. The tango rhythmic pattern, present through most of the work, undergoes several tempo meter transformations, becoming at times highly syncopated and varied through asymmetrical groupings within the measure. The melodic material, usually given to strings and bandoneons in the typical tango ensemble, is here given to the violin and cello is published by Peermusic Classical and it is also recorded by Arcos Trio on Centaur Records.

composer Miguel del Aguila
Three-time Grammy nominated American composer Miguel del Aguila was born 1957 in Montevideo, Uruguay. In more than 115 works that couple drama and driving rhythm with nostalgic nods to his South American roots, he has established himself among the most distinctive and highly regarded composers of his generation. His music has been performed worldwide by over 60 orchestras, by thousands of ensembles and soloists, and recorded on 31 CDs. His training took place in both the Americas and Europe. After graduating from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music he traveled to Vienna, where he studied at the Hochschule für Musik and Konservatorium . Early premieres of his works in Vienna’s Musikverein, Konzerthaus and Bösendorfer halls won him praise from audiences and press. In 1989 he introduced his works in New York’s Carnegie Recital Hall and Lukas Foss premiered his Hexen with Brooklyn Philharmonic. CDs of his works were released on Albany Records and KKM-Austria by 1990.

Del Aguila returned to the U.S. in 1992 where soon The Los Angeles Times described him as "one of the West Coast's most promising and enterprising young composers." He received the Kennedy Center Friedheim Award in 1995, and was music director of Ojai Camerata until 1999. In the 1990s his works were performed at Lincoln Center, London’s Royal Opera House, and in most European capitals.
2001-2004 he was Resident Composer at Chautauqua Festival and 2005-2007 Composer in Residence with New Mexico Symphony Orchestra, through a Meet the Composer/Music Alive Award. This residency culminated in the premiere of his opera Time and Again Barelas, commemorating Albuquerque’s tricentennial. He received a Meet the Composer Magnum Opus Award in 2008, the Lancaster Symphony Composer of the Year Award 2009, and the Copland Foundation and Argosy Foundation awards among others.
In 2010 he received two Latin Grammy nominations, for the CD Salón Buenos Aires and for his work Clocks. In 2015 a third Grammy nomination for his Concierto en Tango which, two years after its premiere has already been scheduled 21 orchestra performances worldwide. His works are recorded on Naxos, Dorian, Telarc, New Albion, Albany, Centaur and Eroica among others and published by Peermusic Classical.
