Muié Rendéra
Cc. A. Pinto Fonseca
(Brazil)
Two of the most popular folk tunes from Northeast Brazil are combined in this joyful
arrangement of Carlos Alberto Pinto Fonseca (b.1933): Olé, Muié Rendéra and E Lampa, é Lampa,
@ Lampet, Although Pinto Fonseca emphasizes the rhythmic aspect of the piece, his choral
‘writing is very clear, which allows the listener to identify the melodies very easily. The simple
harmonic vocabulary reinforces the simplicity of the style. In performance, the addition of
percussion will strengthen the character of the baito, a Brazilian folk dance.
Bom in Belo Horizonte, in the state of Minas Gerais, Pinto Fonseca has had a very successful
careet as a conductor. He has won several conducting competitions, not only in Brazil, but also
in Argentina and Italy. Under his direction, the Madrigal Ars Nova toured in South America and
Europe and achieved international recognition as one of the best Brazilian choral groups.
Fonseca is well known for his arrangements of folk music, The Missa Afro-Brasileira (1976) won
the "Best Vocal Work’ prize of the Associapo dos Criticos de S40 Paulo, and later became his most
popular choral work in the United States.
