Brazilian Bach Pieces No. 5
Today's post is a little something about Brazilian arts, but with a twist. We have art within art in both the painting (above) and music (below).
In Parreiras' painting "Fantasia", he paints an artist painting vases. Quick. How many vases are in the painting? If you would only look at the vases...*grin*
As for our birthday guest, Heitor Villa-Lobos, he loves the works of JS Bach. In his Bachianas brasileiras (Brazilian Bach Pieces), Villa-Lobos insinuates Bach's artistry into his own distinctive compositions.
It gives me pleasure to post one of Villa-Lobos most recognized and popular Brazialian Bach Pieces for your listening enjoyment. Click on the link below to listen to this piece.
