Composed by Ken Litton. 21st Century,Chamber,Contest,Festival,Folk,Multicultural,World. 17 pages. Artist of Note, Inc. #955483. Published by Artist of Note, Inc. (A0.1372061).You’ve searched far and wide for a perfect concert opener (or “re-opener” after an intermission) to no avail. Well, Valsa Brasiliense/Brasília Waltz may be just the ticket!
The term Brasiliense refers to the residents of Brasília the federal capital of Brazil. But, the original builders of the city (1958-1961) in the serrana plateau of the country, 1,000 miles into the interior came to be called “candangos.”
The waltz introduction sets a largely consistent pattern of syncopated accompaniment followed by the melody in 2nd violin/viola and then all the violins. Cellos help glide the melody along until they are featured in middle section, a great feature opportunity for the section as a whole or for your principal cellist. Note that even though it lies high, that the register is not extreme. The basses propel the forward motion of the piece and contribute mightily to the surprise ending. And, that part may be played by cello or small contingent of cellos in lieu of contrabasses.
Its scant 2:30 in duration also makes it nice finale for an evening with your premiere string ensemble.
String orchestra/string quintet Included are: Score, Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Violoncello, Contrabass (Cello 2)
