Choro Meets Ragtime Book/CD Set. For All Instruments. SongBook. Brazilian. Intermediate. Book/CD Set. 82 pages. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc (MB.981669182). ISBN 9780981669182. Brazilian. 9x12 inches. The Brazilian Choro and the American Ragtime are two musical expressions that resulted from European and African styling and rhythmic influences. For Choro the influence of polka prevailed, whereas for Ragtime the march was the major influence, but in both cases the African musical culture (with its syncopated rhythms), present in both Brazilian and American societies, was decisive for the formation of these styles. Although developed independently and in parallel with each other in the late 19th century, these two musical styles share great similarities, even in relation to the negative impact made upon society when both emerged, and the subsequent acceptance of the two styles even by classical music composers. The purpose of this work is to musically illustrate the incredible similarities between Choro and Ragtime. We selected ten ragtime tunes (five composed by Scott Joplin, its main representative), which were performed by a Choro Ensemble following the same traditional Choro swing, rhythm and harmony. For the solo we used the typical instruments used in Choro: flute, mandolin, clarinet, and sax. The melodies were kept identical to the respective original versions. We asked soloists to perform them faithfully following the score the first time the theme was played, adding the typical Choro variations or improvisations in the repeats. In some repeats, the Choro Ensemble also changed the base music from Choro to maxixe and/or samba-cancao, to illustrate how other Brazilian music styles fall within the project. In relation to harmony, we followed the indications included in the original scores for piano as basic reference, but made some adjustments to better reflect the Choro language. Choro and Ragtime finally together, just for you to listen to, or even to play along!

Brazilian Electric Guitar by Favio Henrique Medeiros & Carlos de Lemos Almada. For Guitar (Electric). Solos. Bill's Music Shelf. Brazilian. Intermediate. Book + Online Audio. 88 pages. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc (MB.99790). ISBN 9780786675814. Brazilian. 8.5x11 inches. The main goal of this book is to present what could be called Brazilian guitar today, working melodically, harmonically and rhythmically in some of the most important Brazilian musical styles. We have chosen to always use two electric guitars in these arrangements (but in the song "Violeiros e Cantadores," which is for solo electric guitar), so that the essential functions of the guitar -- rhythm, melody and harmony -- might be expressed in the clearest and best way in each different style. We have made three versions of each piece, for ease of study: a complete one, one without the first electric guitar, and one without the second electric guitar. Therefore the student will be able to listen to the complete version and then practice with the other ones, playing the missing parts of the first guitar and the second guitar. At the end of the book, like an appendix, we have included the bass lines used in the recordings to strengthen the rhythmic and harmonic comprehension of each style. All music is in notation and tablature. A free recording of the music is available as an internet download from the publisher's website.

Brazilian Choro: A Method for Mandolin and Bandolim Book/CD Set by Marilynn Mair and Paulo Sa. For Mandolin. Methods. Brazilian. Beginning-Intermediate. Book/CD Set. 136 pages. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc (MB.21975BCD). ISBN 9780786682775. Brazilian. 8.75x11.75 inches. Brazilian Choro: A Method for Mandolin focuses on teaching "bandolim" technique for playing Choro. The combination of method book and CD offers a great opportunity to add performance practice to the black-and-white notes on the page. The book, presented in both English and Portuguese, is written for two different groups--Brazilians learning to play bandolim in the Choro tradition, and non-Brazilians who play other styles and want to learn Choro. Mr. S!, a native Carioca who as played Choro since childhood, understands Choro intuitively and brings a Brazilian perspective to the project. Ms. Mair, a classical mandolinist who has spent much of the past four years refining her Choro technique in Rio, brings an outsider's viewpoint, recognizing the subtle distinctions that make Choro style unique. Together these renowned performers and university professors have created a pathway to help you play Choro with a true Carioca accent. Music presented in standard notation.
