Review:
Lore has it that this delightful little Brazilian folk tune was perhaps written in the 1800s in honor of Princess Isabel. Whatever its origin, it has become a favorite of children, as it is in the style of a nursery rhyme and has extensive lyrics – which are included with the score.
It is written in a-minor and the tune begins using only handchimes. Bells then enter and Ring the engaging melody with a bit of counter-melody. It includes LVs and phrase markings for an expressive and legato feel. Dynamics and a few echoes are added as it continues to a sweet and gentle ending.
