Bachianas brasileiras

The Bachianas brasileiras constitute a series of nine suites by the Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos, written for various combinations of instruments and voices between 1930 and 1945. Each represents a fusion between Brazilian folk and popular music and the style of Johann Sebastian Bach. Most of the movements in each suite have two titles: one "Bachian" (Prelúdio, Fuga, etc.), the other Brazilian (Embolada, O Canto da Nossa Terra, etc.). The works are:
*No. 1 for 8 cellos (1932):
**Introdução (Embolada)
**Prelúdio (Modinha)
** Fuga (Conversa)
*No. 2 for chamber orchestra (1933). There are four programmatic movements, each reworking an earlier piece for piano or for cello and piano:
**Prelúdio (O Canto do Capadocio)
**Ária (O Canto da Nossa Terra)
**Dança (Lembrança do Sertão)
**Tocata (O Trenzinho do Caipira)
*No. 3 for piano and orchestra (1934)
*No. 4 for piano (1930-41); orchestrated in 1942 (dedicated to Tomas Teren)
**Preludio (Introdução)
**Coral (Canto do Sertão)
**Aria (Cantiga)
**Dansa (Mindinho)
*No. 5 for soprano and 8 cellos (1938/45). This is probably Villa-Lobos's single most popular work:
**Aria (Cantilena) (lyrics by Ruth V. Corrêa)
**Dança (Martelo) (lyrics by Manuel Bandeira)
*No. 6 for flute and bassoon (1938)
**Aria (Choros)
**Fantasia
*No. 7 for orchestra (1942) (dedicated to Gustavo Capanema)
**Preludio (Ponteco)
**Giga (Quadrilha Caipira)
**Tocata (Desafio)
**Fuga (Conversa)
*No. 8 for orchestra (1944)
*No. 9 for chorus or string orchestra (1945)
**Preludio e Fuga
