Z\u00e9 do Norte is supposed to have created the \u201cMulher rendeira\u201d theme, one of the most popular ones of the Brazilian singing repertoire. It consists of two rhythmic patterns typical of the North-East of Brazil, namely the bai\u00e3o<\/u> and the galope<\/u>. The theme appears here in two movements. The first one (lento, ad libitum), after a brief introduction, is lyrical and contemplative whereas in the second virtuoso one (presto), this theme underlies the different variations. \u201cPixula\u201d, one of the ten ch\u00f4ros for guitar, is an excerpt of the \u201cO ch\u00f4ro de Juliana\u201d album. The combination of the traditional ch\u00f4ro<\/u> and jazz makes it very special. \u201cPixula\u201d is a two-part ch\u00f4ro<\/u>; the percussion instruments appear one after the other in order to emphasize each of their respective function. \u201cPlanaltina\u201d is a small town in the central plateau of Brazil and the pagode<\/u> is a meeting during which people sing and dance, mainly samba variants. \u201cNum pagode em Planaltina\u201d is a tribute to the genius of the singer and composer Jo\u00e3o Bosco, which accounts for stylistic similitudes. \u201cPixaim\u201d is a frevo<\/u> written in the tradition of the frevos to be heard during the carnival celebrations at Olinda and Recife. During carnival, the frevo is being danced most energetically in the streets. The difficulty of \u201cPixaim\u201d resides in maintaining the balance between the frevo as it appears in arpeggios and chords, and the repeated notes of the guitar basses. \u201cNost\u00e1lgica\u201d is the second one of a cycle of five waltzes for guitar. They exemplify Brazilian popular guitar music, including Jo\u00e3o Pernambuco, Garoto, Dilermando Reis, Canhoto da Parahiba and Baden Powell. The harmony and melody of Guinga\u2019s music, especially in the ch\u00f4ro-can\u00e7\u00e3o<\/u> \u201cCh\u00f4ro pro Z\u00e9\u201d, are unexpected. Elements of a blues\u2013like style enhance the atmosphere brought about by ch\u00f4ro music. Both genres, incidentally sharing similar social originis, almost amalgamate. The \u201cSamambaia\u201d samba-ch\u00f4ro<\/u> gave its name to a record by the pianist and composer Cesar Camargo Mariano. In this record and his arrangements, he shows special care of every detail, whether melodic, harmonic, or rhythmic. This musician and arranger has influenced a whole generation of musicians. This search of rich details explains the use of two guitars on this particular record. Edmar Fenicio\u2019s \u201cCh\u00f4ro mel\u00e1ncolico\u201d, which is little known and often forgotten by guitarists, appears in this album in its original version. It epitomizes a relatively productive period, very bold in its harmony and melody. This boldness has not only renovated the basic principles of popular Brazilian music, but has mainly paved the way for the now world-known bossa nova. The \u201cBate-coxa\u201d title refers to the way legs move when forr\u00f3 is being danced. This dance for couples is the most popular one of the North-East of Brazil. On the introduction, the guitar sounds like an accordion opening up and closing, bringing about an almost uninterrupted breathing. This Loro by Egberto Gismonti was originally written for the piano in E flat major. It has been arranged for the guitar in E major. Marco Pereira\u2019s version differs from the original one is so far as it rhythmically drifts away from bai\u00e3o towards maracatu. Pixinguinha is definitely the most important representative of Brazilian ch\u00f4ro. This carioca flutist (who later went on to play the saxophone) has reunited ch\u00f4ro and traditional jazz in a very original way, as evidenced in Pereira\u2019s guitar arrangement of his \u201cLamentos\u201d ch\u00f4ro. The \u201cBabel samba\u201d is an oda to Rio de Janeiro and to its famous \u201csamba schools\u201d (Mangueira, Vila Izabel, Portela, Salgueiro a.o.) With his technical buoyancy and nearly percussion \u2013 like style, Baden Powell has revolutionized the aesthetics of Brazilian guitar playing. \u201cPlainte\u201d is a lamento, a silent moaning evoking the nostalgia of a past magical moment that will never reoccur. <\/p>\n
