Mugre

Instrumentation: clarinet and string quintet. The download includes the score and individual parts.

“Mugre” is inspired by Astor Piazzolla’s request to his performers to add that indescribable “filth” or “grit” to their interpretations. In Argentie slang, the phrase “tiene mugre” can suggest grit or authenticity in art or music.
