The night waltzes

n the tango songbook there are hundred of pieces whose titles evoke night, surely, the most romantic time of the day, but also, the hours when sadness and loneliness are most deeply felt.

There are many numbers originated in the inspiration of our creators dedicated to the time when the day is gone. We shall firstly enumerate waltzes because their number is smaller if compared with tangos.

We shall do it taking into account the most important recordings and, also, some sheet music copies. We have counted fifty-seven. Of course this is not a final figure at all, there must surely be more waltzes that as soon as we find them we shall later include them.

In this subject matter that refers to night the moon and stars cannot be absent for they are romantic love symbols very often appearing in titles and lyrics. Because of that we include waltzes that allude to them.

A notable feature that sprang up in the present research is the number of recordings made by the Francisco Canaro orchestra. Another thing that attracted our attention is the predominance of pieces with vocals over the instrumentals.

Few of these numbers were successful: “Noches de Atenas”, “Luna de arrabal”, “Bajo un cielo de estrellas” and “Estrellita del sur” just to name a few. But most them, among which we may found very beautiful melodies, were successful for a very limited period and today are forgotten.
