Program Notes

From his travels in Brazil, Andrew Balent has constructed a short suite of three traditional Brazilian children's songs. Marcha, Soldaro! (March, Soldier), Capelina de Melao (Little Chapel of Melon) and Ciranda (a popular children's circle dance) give a wonderful glimpse into the culture of the largest country in South America.
