Inspired by a tour to Brazil with the Campbellsville Univeristy Chorale, Rio de Janeiro for Flute and Piano was written for Cristina Soares, a native of Rio de Janiero. The opening section in 7-beat phrases is meant to evoke the laid back attitude of the city with some bossa-nova style. An abrupt change in character leads to the more energetic side of the city, incorporating Latin rhythms, syncopation, and some blues inspired chromaticsim. There is a return to the original section, but this time in a minor mode and at a faster tempo, concluding with the lively energy that Rio de Janiero is known for.

The inspiration for this piece came from an e-mail received by the composer from a friend who was travelling around Brazil. The music depicts the countries great contrasts, from the extreme poverty of the street children to the lavish lifestyle of the top footballers and the carnival revellers in Rio de Janeiro. Bring an exotic feel to any concert with the lively Latin American rhythms of E-mail from Brazil.

Der Komponist ließ sich zu E-mail from Brazil von einer E-Mail von Freunden inspirieren, die sich zu der Zeit in Brasilien aufhielten. Die Musik zeichnet ein Bild dieses Landes voller Gegensätze. Sie erzählt von Armut und Reichtum, von der wilden Natur am Amazonas und Metropolen wie Rio de Janeiro oder São Paulo. Es geht um Sonne, Fußball, Karneval und nicht zuletzt die spektakulären Shows. Ein kontrastreiches Werk voll von lateinamerikanischen Rhythmen und lebhaftem Temperament.

Das geistliche Komodienspiel aus Bayern, die Christkindl-Kumedi, haben bauerliche Autoren fur ein bauerliches Publikum geschrieben, das oftmals weitverstreut auf einsamen Hofen wohnte. Die Bauern stellten die Darsteller und den Regisseur; mit der Inszenierung zog man nun von Bauernhof zu Bauernhof, von Bauernstube zu Bauernstube. Man kann also mit gutem Recht von einem Vorlaufer unseres modernen 'Zimmertheaters' sprechen! Und genau wie bei unserem heutigen Zimmertheater war auch damals die Ausstattung und die Kostumierung der Christkindl-Kumedi sehr einfach, man richtete sich mehr oder weniger nach den vorhandenen Moglichkeiten. Der Spieltext folgt nahezu unverandert einer Handschrift aus Grainet bei Passau, welche den Titel tragt: 'Geistliches Komedien-Spiel zu Ehren des Christkindelein Anno den 20 ten Janer 1836, dargeboten in August Hartmann und Hyazinth Abeles Volksschauspielen (Leipzig 1880)'. Einige der Originalmelodien sind in unsere Neugestaltung ubernommen worden; sie stammen aus dem bayrisch-osterreichischen Grenzraum. Die ubrige Musik wurde neu geschaffen.' (Cesar Bresgen) Die Christkindl-Kumedi ist fur Kinder ab 6 Jahren geeignet; die Partien von Maria, dem Vorsanger und dem Engel sollten entweder von erfahrenen und entsprechend ausgebildeten Jugendlichen oder von Erwachsenen gesungen werden.
