Immerse yourself in the captivating fusion of sacred choral music and the passionate rhythms of tango with Martín Palmeri's "Misa a Buenos Aires 'Misatango'" & "Tango Gloria". Released on January 20, 2017, this extraordinary album from CPO Records blends the traditional structure of a Catholic mass with the vibrant energy of Argentine tango, creating a unique and compelling musical experience.
Composer Martín Palmeri masterfully intertwines the sacred texts of the Latin Mass with the distinctive sounds of tango, resulting in a collection of tracks that are both spiritually uplifting and rhythmically engaging. The album features two main works: "Misa a Buenos Aires 'Misatango'" and "Tango Gloria", each offering a distinct perspective on this innovative fusion.
"Misa a Buenos Aires 'Misatango'" presents the traditional components of a mass—Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Benedictus, and Agnus Dei—reimagined through the lens of tango. This section showcases Palmeri's ability to merge the solemnity of liturgical music with the sensuality and dynamism of tango, creating a powerful and emotionally resonant experience.
"Tango Gloria" delves deeper into the Gloria section of the mass, expanding it into a multi-movement work that explores the text in greater detail. Each movement within "Tango Gloria" focuses on a different phrase or idea from the Gloria text, allowing Palmeri to craft a rich and nuanced musical narrative.
With a duration of 1 hour and 9 minutes, this album offers a comprehensive exploration of Palmeri's unique musical vision. The choral arrangements are particularly noteworthy, as they blend the precision and discipline of classical choral singing with the expressive freedom and rhythmic complexity of tango.
Whether you are a fan of choral music, tango, or simply appreciate innovative and boundary-pushing compositions, Martín Palmeri's "Misa a Buenos Aires 'Misatango'" & "Tango Gloria" is sure to captivate and inspire. This album is a testament to the power of musical fusion and the endless possibilities that arise when different traditions and styles come together.
