Rainy Day Tango by George Jenner
This piece was written in response to a composition challenge on The Creative Classical Guitarist.
The challenge was to write a short tango that modulated using pivot chords, or chords that are common to more than one key. I scratched out the exercise one rainy winter's night in lockdown.
I wanted to develop it further, but tango is not my natural habitat. So I took as my guide the Argentinian maestro Máximo Diego Pujol, and used his Preludio Tristón as a canvas (not necessarily a tango, but at least an infusion).
