Santa Morena Jacob do Bandolim

This is my arrangement of the choro waltz “Santa Morena”, a spanish influenced piecee by Brazilian composer Jacob do Bandolim, to which I attempted to bring a flamenco flavor using somee techniques and concepts of the flamenco “bulerías” style.

Cartagena – Felipe Coelho Composition with Orquestra Filarmonica SC

This composition fuses the flamenco style with the latin rhythm of “chacarera”. The guitar makes use of the flamenco techniques and sonority but to embrace an universal language alongside the orchestra. The composition builds the theme up to a peak of fast picados in dramatic moment with the use of the whole tone scale.
