The timeless beauty and power of the Mighty Mississippi River is the inspiration for Bossa Corrente. In a river, the current (“corrente” in Portuguese) refers to the flow of the water The composer captures the Mississippi’s unyielding river flow using distinctive melodies, rich counterpoint, and layered musical textures. These techniques, combined with a relaxed Bossa Nova groove, paint a picture of the Mississippi as its current cuts a swath from the forests of northern Minnesota to the Crescent City of New Orleans, Louisiana. The open solo section allows students to improvise using only the notes of the concert D Aeolian scale. A written suggested solo is also included.
