Composing Tangos for the Church Organ

~ Jonas Karlsson - Orgelkungen

The first tango I wrote for the organ (Tango Concertante, Opus 16), came to me in a dream. Since I had a digital church in my appartment, I could play the music when I woke up, and make it to a nice organ compostion. In the dream the music was played by an accordion player.

Years later I wrote a second tango, called Tango Briljante, Opus 20. Tango Concertante and Tango Briljante was both written in G Minor.

And a couple of years ago, I wrote a third organ tango. Tango Militante in F Minor, Opus 22. That tango sounds a bit like a march.

Theese tangos has been very popular on live concerts.
