ARIA CANTILENA

from Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5

Series: String Orchestra
Publisher: Schirmer
Level: 3-4
Composer: Heitor Villa-Lobos
Arranger: Jamin Hoffman

This famous aria pays homage to Johann Sebastian Bach and remains one of the most popular of Villa-Lobos' works, originally written for solo soprano and eight celli. Jamin Hoffman's setting for string orchestra spotlights a violin soloist with the beautiful melodic line, which soars and captivates, in the manner of Bach's long non-repeating slow movements. Extraordinary programming for today's string orchestras!
