2009 chorinho celso machado

chorinho by celso machado brasil
Originally choro was played by a trio of flute, guitar and cavaquinho (a small chordophone with four strings). Other instruments commonly played in choro are the mandolin, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet and trombone. These melody instruments are backed by a rhythm section composed of guitar, 7-string guitar (playing bass lines) and light percussion, such as a pandeiro. The cavaquinho appears sometimes as a melody instrument, other times as part of the rhythm.


[edit] Compositional structure
Structurally, a choro composition usually has three parts, played in a rondo form: AABBACCA, with each section typically in a different key. There are a variety of choros in both major and minor keys.


[edit] History
Much of the success of this style of music came from the early days of radio, when bands performed live on the air. By the 1960s it had evolved into urban samba. However, in the late 1970s there was a successful effort to revitalize the genre, through TV-sponsored nation-wide festivals in 1977 and 1978, which attracted a new, younger generation of musicians. Thanks in great part to these efforts, choro music remains strong in Brazil. More recently, choro has attracted the attention of musicians in the United States, such as Mike Marshall and Maurita Murphy Mead, who have brought this kind of music to a new audience. Most Brazilian classical composers recognize the sophistication of choro and its major importance in Brazilian instrumental music. Radamés Gnattali said it was the most sophisticated instrumental popular music in the world. Heitor Villa-Lobos defined choro as the true incarnation of Brazilian soul. Notably, both composers had some of their music inspired by choro, bringing it to the classical tradition.[1]

According to Aquiles Rique Reis (a Brazilian singer), Choro is classical music played with bare feet and callus on the hands[2]

Super klip!!!!!

[jacquillo]

@iwonka53 thanks you for the nice comment - this was made a year ago.

[Jazzguts]

Very nice piece,and you're heading in the good direction,as a guitar teacher I must be strict on you, you're rushing in tempo,and you're missing essential bass runs,when you study,study real slow and use a metronome to give steady rhythmic pulse,listen very close to your rhythmic play and be strict before you record YT video's, 80% might find it OK but not the critical guys,if you know what I mean, this is building,positive critique,Vic.

@Jazzguts thank you victor - i apreciate your advising him on how to learn that piece - of course a jazz student would be much more proficient with rythm - but he usually plays classical pieces and he definitly has to learn playing with a pulse - regarding how to work slow, he is not yet mature enough to do this for good - when he takes the guitar , he just plays. then if i would wait that a piece is cleanly played before i upload it on youtube, jacquillo wouldnt be there at all.

Terrific. Bravo.

[Jazzguts]

@jacquillo Certainly I get your point,I understand. He's a musical guy, the pulse is something that has to be regarded in general and applies to all styles of Music, as a man who has the pulse built-in of course I'm very critical of this point. Immediately if something is off balance of the Pulse I catch it. Don't worry ,my philosophy is: Better critical (also for myself as an adult) then no critique at all,nobodies learning anything then,friendly greetings Vic.
