Fuga y Misterio | Continuum by NUS Guitar Ensemble

'Fuga y Misterio' performed by NUS Guitar Ensemble for Continuum, recorded in NUS University Town Dance Atelier 2, Singapore, on 21 October 2023.
Composed by the legendary Argentine composer Astor Piazzola, Fuga y Misterio (“Fugue and Mystery”) is an instrumental piece from the tango opera María de Buenos Aires. The composition draws upon the nueva tango style which Piazzola himself developed, where elements from jazz and classical music are incorporated into the traditional tango. Arranged by GENUS alumnus, Goh Zhi Yue, for guitar, Fuga y Misterio opens with a brisk and agitated tune by the prime guitars which is then echoed by the other guitars. The piece transitions into a slow and melancholy melody in the middle of the piece, then returns to the fast-paced fugue at the end of the song.
Composed by Astor Piazzolla
Arranged by Goh Zhi Yue
Conducted by Cai Tianxiang
