By Lucas Brito. Composed by Lucas Brito. Arranged by Lucas Brito. This edition: pdf, streaming. Contemporary, Folk, Latin. 14 pages. Lucas Brito #1352025. Published by Lucas Brito (A0.1791889).Pixinguinhando is a choro for woodwind quintet conceived as a direct, affectionate, and stylistic homage to Pixinguinha — one of the greatest pillars of Brazilian music. The title itself fully reveals the essence of the work: to “pixinguinhar” is to write with the swing, elegance, melodic lyricism, and contrapuntal richness that defined Pixinguinha’s legacy.
Deeply rooted in the tradition of classical choro, the piece evokes flowing, song-like melodies, expressive lyricism, and the unmistakable rhythmic vitality that made Pixinguinha’s music timeless, while embracing a refined and contemporary chamber music approach. Each instrument in the quintet plays an active role in the musical discourse, engaging in constant dialogue through light counterpoint, transparent textures, and dynamic exchanges.
With a joyful, engaging, and genuinely Brazilian character, Pixinguinhando functions both as a tribute and an original reinterpretation. It honors the traditional language of choro while presenting it with formal clarity, harmonic balance, and idiomatic writing carefully tailored for the woodwind quintet.
The score is ideal for both concert performance and educational purposes, offering performers a musically rich experience focused on style, articulation, phrasing, and ensemble interaction — essential elements of authentic choro.
