Composed by David McKeown. Concert,Latin,Standards,World. Score. 8 pages. David McKeown #5744009. Published by David McKeown (A0.589111).
Merengue de Merlín is an exciting original composition by David McKeown, arranged as a duet for two Violas.
This duet is based on the traditional Latin style of Merengue that emerged in the Dominican Republic during the Nineteenth Century. Merengue Tipico bands maintain the traditional instrumentation of the double-headed tambora drum, güira, accordion and vocal, while urban bands in the North American diaspora often add saxophone, bass and other percussion. The Merengue dance became hugely popular in the 1950s and new forms continue to draw audiences around the world.
If you play to an intermediate standard and upwards, then you and your audience will enjoy this piece. The steady quintilla tambora rhythm is present throughout, and following the precise articulation in the score will help convey the style. The main challenge is the fast tempo and melodies should be clearly articulated. Merengue de Merlín has a performance time of around two and a half minutes at full tempo. You can listen to a full performance of the Alto Saxophone version of this duet by following the YouTube link above.
