From the recording Richard Boukas Chamber Works
A melding of French impressionist harmonic colors with the Brazilian toada, a ballad form from the northeast region. The original version of this piece was for Quarteto Moderno (Boukas' Brazilian jazz ensemble).
This chamber version transforms the piece into a highly polyphonic texture and adds a new development middle section. Performed by Chia-Ching Mao, flute; Adrianna Mateo, Monica Martin (violins); Shauna Smith, viola; Jiliane Russo, violoncello.
