From (A Floresta do Amazonas) Full Score
Full Score
One of the last projects Vila-Lobos completed was the huge A Floresta do Amazonas. Initially written as the sound track for a Hollywood movie, Villa-Lobos reworked the whole score when it was rejected by MGM. He added more movements including Four Orchestral Songs which have become the most well known parts of the entire work. Originally written for soprano, this is a new arrangement of these songs for contralto and string orchestra so all the songs have been transposed down.
