Product Description

Santa Morena Jacob do Bandolim
Arranged for Guitar Ensemble by Daniel Duarte
Santa Morena is one of the most iconic choros by Jacob do Bandolim (19181969), a master Brazilian mandolinist and composer who played a central role in shaping 20th-century choro. Known for his refined technique and lyrical phrasing, Jacob blended Brazilian popular music with diverse influences. In Santa Morena, the lively syncopations and flowing melody are enriched by a distinct Spanish flavor, adding a unique color to the traditional choro style.
This arrangement presents Santa Morena for guitar ensemble with solo mandolin, preserving the pieces vibrant character and intricate interplay. Scored for Mandolin (Soloist), 1 Soprano Guitar, 8 Guitars, and 2 Basses, the adaptation offers fully independent parts for each player, making it accessible to a range of ensembles while remaining faithful to Jacobs elegant and rhythmically sophisticated writing.
The solo mandolin line may be performed by other instruments such as flute, violin, or any appropriate melodic instrument, giving directors multiple options for soloists.
