Description

Sinfonia Dos Orixas; Pequenos Funerais Cantantes on CD

José Antônio de Almeida Prado was one of the most admired Brazilian composers of his time. The two stylistically diverse works featured on this album exemplify different creative periods in the composer's life. The prize-winning Pequenos funerais cantantes, which was Almeida Prado's breakthrough as a composer, is a lament full of unique soundworlds forged from different combinations of choral and orchestral writing. The superbly orchestrated Sinfonia dos Orixás takes as it's subject the Orishas (deities in the Yoruba religion) - and is a personal tribute to the rich Afro-Brazilian religious traditions, a sumptuous melodic and rhythmic feast celebrating the forces of nature.
