By Rafa Leme. Composed by Rafa Leme. Arranged by Rafa Leme. This edition: pdf, streaming. Jazz, Latin, Multicultural, World. 35 pages. Rafa Leme #1367972. Published by Rafa Leme (A0.1807788).Ciranda de Afetos is an instrumental composition written for alto saxophone, string quartet, guitar, double bass, and drums. The work draws on the symbolic and musical imagery of the ciranda, reimagined through a contemporary instrumental and chamber-music perspective, emphasizing collective motion, shared pulse, and expressive interdependence.
The alto saxophone assumes a leading melodic role, articulating lyrical themes that unfold with fluid phrasing and gradual development. The string quartet functions as both harmonic foundation and textural field, alternating between sustained layers, contrapuntal dialogue, and rhythmic support. The guitar contributes harmonic color and rhythmic articulation, expanding the ensemble’s palette through chordal voicings and melodic interjections. The double bass anchors the rhythmic–harmonic structure with an organic, grounded approach, while the drums operate with sensitivity and restraint, shaping form through subtle accents, dynamic contours, and textural variation rather than a rigid groove.
Ciranda de Afetos privileges balance, continuity, and collective listening, integrating elements of Brazilian popular music with contemporary chamber-instrumental language and highlighting the ensemble as a shared expressive body.
