| Added by welligtonsousa, 03 Mar 2024 "Mourão" is a musical piece originally conceived for strings, initially titled "De Viola e Rabeca." The composition not only transports listeners to the stunning landscapes of northeastern Brazil but also reveals the musical richness present in the country's culture. This work represents Guerra-Peixe's entry into the vast musical knowledge, comparing to the grandiosity of Heitor Villa-Lobos' "O Trenzinho do Caipira," marking the beginning of the composer's involvement with the Armorial Movement, a significant Brazilian musical movement. Ariano Suassuna's request to transform "De Viola e Rabeca" into a unique piece for the Armorial Chamber Orchestra of the State of Pernambuco represents the fusion of classical music with Brazilian cultural roots. This union highlights the diversity and uniqueness of Brazil's musical heritage. Welligton's arrangement for Sax Quartet adjusts the key from D to C for better adaptation to instrumentation. Additionally, other adaptations occur to enhance compatibility with wind instruments. | |||
