Solo for unaccompanied cello.
Grade 5+. Approx. duration: four minutes.
Set consists of a performance score.
This work for solo cello is a re imagination of the tango that features many of that instrument’s contemporary techniques.
Composed in 1995, “Jira (Yira) che (‘k) Tango” was performed by Darrett Adkins on a program organized by the Spokane-based ensemble, Zephyr, on April 11, 1997. Writing in Spokane’s Spokesman-Review, Travis Rivers said that the “string-breaker … was Adriana Verdie’s ‘Jira che Tango,’ an unaccompanied cello solo compendium of nearly every sound a cellist can extract from the instrument just short of smashing it to pieces. Adkins tore into the piece like a daredevil. Much as I admired his playing, much as I was amused by Verdie’s lavish display of effects, I did not find much musical substance in it. But then, not every piece is required to have substance; sheer technical bravura offers its own pleasure."
Although not completely appreciated by Mr. Rivers, in recent years the work has been recorded on two occasions, in 2009 by
Carter Dewberry
and in 2013 by
Adkins
