By Luiz C Teixeira. Composed by Luiz Islo Nantes Teixeira/Carlos Teixeira. Arranged by Luiz C Teixeira. This edition: pdf, streaming. 20th Century, 21st Century, Jazz, Latin, Multicultural, World. Score. 6 pages. Luiz C Teixeira #1350440. Published by Luiz C Teixeira (A0.1790303)."Elo Perdido" ("Lost Link" in Portuguese) is a sophisticated Bossa Nova/Jazz Samba composition. It embodies the harmonic richness and rhythmic subtlety characteristic of advanced Brazilian jazz, reminiscent of composers like Antonio Carlos Jobim and João Gilberto, but with its own distinctive voice. The piece is through-composed with repeating sections, creating a flowing, narrative feel rather than a standard verse-chorus structure.
1. Key and Harmonic Language
Tonal Center: The piece primarily revolves around the key of F major (as indicated by the one flat in the key signature, Bb), but it is highly modal and chromatic.
Harmonic Style: It employs classic bossa nova harmony:
Extended Chords: Heavy use of 7ths, 9ths, 13ths, and maj7ths (e.g., Fmaj7, C9, Dm9, G13, Fmaj13).
Altered Dominants: Chords like A7(b9) (Bar 21) create tension and a bluesy or Spanish-tinged color, leading to a minor resolution.
Chord Planing/Parallel Motion: Sequences where chords move in parallel, often diatonically or chromatically, creating a sleek, modern texture.
Secondary Dominants & Turnarounds: The progression frequently uses chords to temporarily tonicize a new target, creating constant forward motion (e.g., the series in bars 57-61: Gmaj7 - Cmaj7 - F#m7(b5) - B9 - Em7 - A7 - Dm7).
