Bernard
Scherr has arranged six
lovely Portuguese
Folksongs for Brass
Quintet entitled: 1.
Mourisca do Santo Joao de
Braga (Moorish
architechture of Saint
John of Braga) as a march
2. A Pastorinha (The
Shepherdess) - a lovely
andantino 3. O Xi-Xi
(Wee-wee) - a silly song
4. O ai, o linda! (Oh,
the beauty!) - a lyrical
romance 5. Coradinha (The
blushing one) - a
dance-like jaunt 6. Carro
amaricano (American Car)
- driving around in the
auto These Portuguese
folksongs contain many
words and phrases that
are associated with
certain regions of
Portugal. These folksongs
come from northern
Portugal and were
collected during the
first half of the 20th
century. They represent,
though, an earlier
tradition stretching back
into the 19th century and
earlier. Some of these
titles are terms of
endearment (A Pastorinha,
O Xi-Xi, and O ai, o
linda), of something new
and exciting (Carro
amaricano), of dance
(Coradinha), or of
something that is not
easily translated
(Mourisca-referring
either to architecture, a
dance, or a local folk
deity). These
arrangements capture the
charming melodies, woven
throughout the group, and
contain inventive
harmonies and imitations.
Instrumentation is for 2
Trumpets in B-flat, Horn,
Trombone & Tuba. For
advanced performers.
