By Alexandre Dias. Composed by Ernesto Nazareth. Arranged by Luiz C. Teixeira. This edition: pdf, streaming. 20th Century, 21st Century, Chamber, Classical, Multicultural, World. Score. 4 pages. Luiz C Teixeira #1193471. Published by Luiz C Teixeira (A0.1625024).The title Íris (Portuguese for “Iris,” both a flower and a mythological reference to a messenger of the gods) may suggest beauty, delicacy, and perhaps a muse or memory. While there is no known biographical context for this particular waltz, Nazareth often dedicated his compositions to women—sometimes real, sometimes imagined—giving the piece an intimate, possibly sentimental undertone.
“Iris” represents a slice of Brazilian Belle Époque, where music, art, and intellectual salons flourished, particularly in Rio de Janeiro. This was a time when composers like Nazareth were bridging the divide between European sophistication and the uniquely Brazilian voice.
