Aria (Cantilena) - (from Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5) - Heitor Villa-Lobos - Jamin Hoffman G. Schirmer, Inc. Score/Parts

This famous aria pays homage to Johann Sebastian Bach and remains one ofthe most popular of Villa-Lobos' works, originally written for solo sop rano and eight celli. Jamin Hoffman's setting for string orchestra spotlights a violin soloist with the beautiful melodic line, which soars andcaptivates, in the manner of Bach's long non-repeating slow movements. Extraordinary programming for today's string orchestras!
