This beautifully crafted trio arrangement for violin, flute, and guitar stays true to the soul of the original while offering musicians a rewarding and musical experience.

Chord symbols are included throughout the score, giving your accompanist full flexibility to comp and groove in an authentic samba style.
The highlight of this arrangement is its coda — a memorable closing section where the guitar steps into a melodic role alongside the flute, creating a rich, layered texture while the violin sustains the main theme. It's a simple yet stunning moment that gives each instrument its own chance to shine.
