about

“Choro em 28 de Fevereiro” is a non-traditional Choro written for my sweet Alice. February 28th is her birthday and this title also represents a pun. Choro, a Brazilian style, also means “crying/weeping.” Thus, “crying on Feb 28th” seemed appropriate.

I intended to premiere this piece on February 28th of 2020, when The University of Texas Jazz Orchestra presented its last concert before the pandemic. However, I was not able to finish the piece on time for the concert. Short after that date, the world turned into a totally new place, so I decided to make this project happen through a collaboration project.

Musically speaking, this piece is inspired by the work of one of my favorite composers, Maria Schneider. It presents an altered rondo form in the first part of the tune, typical of Choros. Its lush mood intends to take listeners through an imaginary journey, where main elements are reframed, transformed, and represented throughout the orchestra instruments.

I hope you enjoy this journey and thanks for listening!
