Brazilian Images For String Orchestra Paulo Braga Diniz

Brazilian Images Features 3 Movements. The First Movement, O Pastorzinho, Means Little Shepherd. It´s Based On A Traditional Round Song Enjoyed By Children Throughout Brazil And Features Variations On That Theme.
It Includes Rhythms Which Are Typical Of Brazilian Folk Music. The Second Movement Is Named After The Composer´s Home Town, Jacarezinho. Based On His Own Childhood Memories, The Charming Melodies Describe A Special Place And Special Playtime Experiences. Danca, Which Simply Means Dance, Rounds Out The Suite. This Short Piece Is Reminiscent Of A Very Old Song Heard By The Composer While Visiting A Small Town Located In The Brazilian State Of Parana. Like The Previous Two Movements, It Is Happy Piece Written To Give Joy To Players And Listeners Alike
