Fans' Art Birdthrown, by ArtemisRat Links British Theatre Tango midi files Tango lyrics and translation Acknowledgements Since this play was produced ten years ago, it’s taken two years to gather enough information for a separate page. Special thanks to Raffaella, Ren, Suzanne, Claire, and Georgiana, whose contributions made this page possible. You are listening to La Cumparsita, the tango that was danced on this production, but this selection is not from the soundtrack. Several fans would like to know if there is a soundtrack available for the music used during the play. Suzanne S wrote on January 27, 2004 and told us that after a long search she found the Pachelbel Canon from Tango at the Endo of Winter. It's by Michiro Endo and is on the following 2 CDs: 50 (HALF) Bacteria, NB-1001, 1995 and Vietnam-Legend (Betonamu Densetsu) Bacteria, NB-1007, 2002 The first CD is no longer available, but the second one is. Incidentally, Michiro Endo is a Japanese punk rocker. I still find it odd that he did such a beautiful Canon! (not saying I don't like punk rock--I was quite a fan in the late 70's!)
