Composed by Kees Vlak. Countries/Original Works: Light Music Repertoire. Molenaar Original Compositions. Recorded on Global Brass (ML.311011720). Full set. Duration 9 minutes, 10 seconds.The beaches of Rio de Janeiro are almost as famous all over the world as the Brasilian music with its typical characteristics. The population is an amalgam of several races: white people, black people and the indigenous Indians. All specific musical characteristics of these racial groups are mixed in the Brasilian music: the melodic intervals inherited from the Indian population, the rhythm of the black population and the chords and musical structures introduced by the white population. The mixture of different races resulted not only in beautiful music but also in the creation of a beautiful people. All this is to be found on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro. Particularly during the 'Carnival in Rio' the feast never seems to come to an end. The composer named the three pats of this composition after three famous beaches in Rio: Trocadero, Ipanema and Copacabana.
