Photo
CLEARANCE PRICED! Joyous, melancholic, nostalgic or ritual, Brazilian music is always the most authentically expression of its people, their happiness and sorrows. This work is an effort to display some Brazilian popular melodies arranged for violin and piano. The themes chosen, coming from the country as well as urban areas, are part of a repertoire quite familiar to Brazilians. What guided them in the choice of the songs presented in this book was, above all, a poetic sense and deep love for the music of their country. 19 violin solos on historic Brazilian themes. A free piano accompaniment is available online. Beginning/intermediate. 32 pp.
