Description

The InTime Quintet decided to invite contemporary Finnish composers to write some tangos as a celebration of the year 2000. I jumped at the idea by composing not a dance floor tango or indeed a tango to be danced to at all, but a tango in my own image. The response to the InTime Quitet's stimulus lies in the notes.

InTime Quintetin taka-ajatus tangoja suomlaisilta nykysäveltäjiltä tilatessaan oli juhlistaa vuotta 2000. Tartuin ajatukseen säveltämällä - ei lavatangoa tai ylipäänsä tanssittavaa tangoa - vaan oman kaltaiseni tangon. Vastaus InTime Quintetin ärsykkeeseen on nuotissa.
