String Quartet String Quartet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1156755 Composed by Thomas Oboe Lee. 20th Century,Chamber,Classical,Contemporary,Romantic Period. 39 pages. Thomas Oboe Lee #757086. Published by Thomas Oboe Lee (A0.1156755). I have been a fan of the music by Heitor Villa-Lobos since my teenage years in São Paulo, Brazil, 1959-66. It was there when I first first heard his Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5, with soprano solo and eight cellos. The memory of that music will forever haunt me. I then recently discovered through a CD box set recorded by the Cuarteto Latinoamericano that Villa-Lobos wrote 17 string quartets. I guess he wanted to beat the number of string quartets that Beethoven wrote which is 16. So this being my 17th string quartet I wanted to pay homage to Villa-Lobos and dedicate this work to him, in memoriam. I took his first string quartet as a model, in terms of the titles he gave to the movements of that work. I. Cantilena … Andante II. Brincadeira … Allegretto scherzando III. Canto lírico … Moderato IV. Cançoneta … Andantino quasi allegretto V. Saltando como um Saci … Presto VI. Melancolia … Lento, Andante NB: the titles of the movements for the rest of his string quartets (nos. 2 to 17) have the same standard "classical" four-movement designations of fast/allegro, slow/adagio, scherzo and fast/allegro. credits.
