With a theme and six variations, Tango di Romanze is engaging and accessible. Tom Nelson describes his work: "This work was composed during the pandemic lockdown of 2020. It is a set of six variations based on an original tango theme that began as a piano improvisation during a brunch gig. (Luckily, I recorded it on my iPhone!) It is dedicated to my 18-year-old daughter Christina, who was my captive horn consultant during the quarantine. Heidi Garson, Christina's wonderful and dedicated horn teacher for the last four years, had some very helpful suggestions regarding notation and writing for the horn. Christina did a wonderful job playing and recording this challenging music!"
Tango di Romanze is Tom's first work in our catalog, and we are thrilled to have him on board!
