Villa-Lobos: Descobrimento do Brasil Suite No.1
$125.00 - $699.95
Composed in 1937 for Humberto Mauro’s film O Descobrimento do Brasil, Suite No. 3 (W 379) comprises three continuous movements—Impressão ibérica (11:15), Festa nas selvas (3:37), and Ulalocê (Visão dos navegantes) (2:47)—running approximately 17 minutes 40 seconds in performance.
Impressão ibérica uses shifting pedal points, modal inflections, and irregular accents to suggest a stylized Iberian or Moorish sound world; Festa nas selvas contrasts sharply with driving percussion patterns and energetic rhythmic motifs evoking a vibrant jungle celebration; Ulalocê closes with a more lyrical, flowing melody that conjures the navigators’ vision of the sea.
