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.
