Beschreibung

Arrangement for Woodwind Quartet by Francesco (intermediate). Set of parts (5): Flute, Oboe, Bb Clarinet and Bassoon, included Bb Bass Clarinet instead Bassoon (score available separately). "Por una Cabeza" is a tango song written in 1935 with music by Carlos Gardel and lyrics by Alfredo Le Pera. The name is a Spanish horse-racing phrase meaning "by a head", which refers to a horse winning a race narrowly - by just the length of its head. The lyrics speak of a compulsive horse-track gambler who compares his addiction for horses with his attraction to women. "Por Una Cabeza" is featured in a famous tango scene in Martin Brest's film Scent of a Woman (1992), in the opening scene of Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List (1993) and in James Cameron's True Lies (1994).
