The Swedish group ABBA had their decisive
international breakthrough when the foursome
won the Eurovision Song Contest on the 6th of
April, 1974 with Waterloo. This cheerful song,
with its driving beat and distinctive melody, has
become a true pop classic, like many other ABBA
hits. Roland Kernen has arranged Waterloo for five part
variable instrumentation and percussion. It is an
energetic piece that is a pleasure both to play and
to listen to.
