Gonzaga is the first and most important woman composer and musician during Choro’s formative years. Her frequenting of Afro-Brazilian dance gatherings led her to incorporate lundu, umbigada and other related forms into her composing.

Gaúcho, (written 1895 as a Afro-Brazilian corta-jaca) is probably her most popular work. Consisting of only two main thematic sections (rather than the usual three), tonight’s arrangement is derived in part from Pixinguinha’s small orchestra arrangement.
