Product Description

Por Una Cabeza ids a Tango song written in 1935 by Composer and singer Carlos Gardel with Lyrics by Alfedo Le Pera. The title is a Spanish horse-racing phrase meaning "by a head", which refers to a horse winning (or losing) a race narrowly by just the length of its head. The lyrics speak of a compulsive horse-track gambler who compares his addiction for horses with his attraction to women. The tango was used inthe films 'Scent of a Woman' (1992), 'Schindler's List' (1993) and 'True Lies' (1994).

This arrangement for Woodwind Quintet see the main theme shared across the ensemble with continuously flowing contrapuntal counter melodies.. It is important for players to listen to ensure balance between parts. Some dynamics have been provided as a guide but the ensemble should shape the piece as they feel fit.
