El Choclo for String Quartet
"El Choclo" is a famous tango composed by the Argentine musician Ángel Villoldo in 1903. The title translates to "The Corn Cob" in English. It is one of the earliest and most iconic tangos, known for its catchy melody and rhythmic drive.
This arrangement was written for a quartet with 1 violin, 1 viola, and 2 cellos, with the violin, viola, and cello 1 parts sharing the melody, counter melodies, and harmony, while the cello 2 part provides the driving tango rhythm. An alternate score and violin 2 part is also included for a more traditional string quartet featuring 2 violins, viola, and cello.
