Brazilian Music for Oboe &<\/span> Cello<\/h3>

From extensive research of the Brazilian repertoire originally composed for the two instruments, the oboist Alexandre Ficarelli and the cellist Ra\u00efff Dantas Barreto \u2013 colleagues in the Municipal Symphony Orchestra of S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 began the execution of this unique project, which rescues and brings to light unpublished works written specifically for these instruments.<\/p>\n

By the composer Mario Ficarelli (Alexandre’s father), the musicians elected Sonatina para Violoncelo Solo<\/em> \u2013 which is a version of the homonym work written for solo viola \u2013 and the unpublished Quatro Esbo\u00e7os para Obo\u00e9 Solo<\/em>; By Liduino Pitombeira, Seresta No. 18<\/em> was chosen with its two movements, Modinha and Bai\u00e3o<\/em>, which are part of this composer\u2019s cycle of pieces inspired by the Brazilian dances, rhythms and musical genres; From Edmundo Villani-C\u00f4rtes, the work is Frevo Oboec\u00e9lico<\/em> with its festive and dancing characteristics, where the composer\u2019s good humor appears in the choice of the title.<\/p>\n

From Jos\u00e9 Guerra Vicente, the duo brings to the repertoire the piece Divertimento para Obo\u00e9 e Violoncelo<\/em>, written in 1973, shortly before the composer\u2019s death; Finally, By Jos\u00e9 Vieira Brand\u00e3o, the piece “Duo” was chosen, with a very intimate melody of its first movement \u2013 entitled Seresta<\/em>. The second movement, Desafio<\/em>, is a reference to a cultural practice in northeastern Brazil called repente, where two musicians complement each other by singing improvised comic verses.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>
