Description:
A Sertaneja: "To Her, from the Hinterlands," originally composed for voice and piano, musically paints a picture of Chiquinha's love of the hinterland - the land behind the body of water - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Through flowing slurs, dotted rhythms, 3/4 time in D minor, and the passing of melody between the strings, Dión Morales's level 2 arrangement celebrates the lapping waters around Rio de Janeiro and a graceful dance from Brazilian culture by one of its beloved composers, Chiquinha Gonzaga. Students will love playing A Sertaneja. (2:00)
