'Viaje de bodas' is a soundtrack composed by the legendary Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla. The soundtrack was composed for the 1966 film of the same name, directed by Leopoldo Torre Nilsson. The film tells the story of a newlywed couple who embark on a honeymoon journey through the Argentine countryside. The premiere of the film and the soundtrack was in 1966, and it was an instant success. The soundtrack is divided into six movements, each of which captures the essence of the different stages of the couple's journey. The first movement, titled "Introducción," sets the tone for the entire soundtrack. It is a slow and melancholic piece that reflects the couple's uncertainty and apprehension as they embark on their journey. The second movement, "Milonga triste," is a lively and upbeat piece that captures the joy and excitement of the couple as they explore the countryside. The third movement, "La boda de Luis Alonso," is a slow and romantic piece that reflects the couple's love for each other. The fourth movement, "Tango del diablo," is a fast and intense piece that captures the danger and excitement of the couple's journey. The fifth movement, "Adiós Nonino," is a slow and mournful piece that reflects the couple's sadness as their journey comes to an end. The final movement, "Libertango," is a fast and energetic piece that captures the couple's newfound freedom and happiness. Overall, the 'Viaje de bodas' soundtrack is a masterpiece of Argentine music. It combines traditional Argentine rhythms such as the milonga and the tango with Piazzolla's unique style to create a soundtrack that perfectly captures the essence of the film. The soundtrack is a testament to Piazzolla's genius as a composer and his ability to capture the emotions and experiences of his audience through his music.
