Published by Woods Only, Arrangements (A0.956915). Iconic composer representative of Brazilian folklore, Villa-Lobos composed his "Chôro típico" (No. 1) where the true concept of Brazilian popular music can be seen. Originally for guitar, this arrangement was written for woodwind quintet, where it maintains the essence of the original work, and can be played in popular groups, concerts or recitals by beginners or music professionals.Villa-Lobos composed Chôros no. 1 in Rio de Janeiro in 1920, originally publishing it under the title Chôro típico, later Chôro típico brasileiro. The title is taken from an improvised genre of Brazilian popular music that originated in Rio de Janeiro in the 19th century. The word, means "choro" or "lament", although most of the songs of this type are far from sad. Four years after composing this work, on his first visit to Paris, he decided to integrate it into an extensive cycle of works collectively titled Choros, which eventually included fourteen numbered compositions, plus an Introduction aux chôros: Ouverture, for guitar and orchestra, intended to be played before a full performance of the cycle, and Chôros bis, a two-movement duo for violin and cello, considered a kind of encore . A Quintet ("in the form of chôros"), for five wind instruments (1928) is sometimes considered related. This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard’s global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
