Stewart (A0.1474225). “Tico-Tico,” was composed in 1917 by Zequinha de Abreu, a Portuguese émigré to Brazil. “Tico-Tico” is actually a choro — a song form that typically shrugs off misfortune with good humor, good tunes and fast tempos. The title refers to a bird that got into the cornmeal. “Tico-Tico”’s catchy, syncopated rhythm is irresistible; the critical challenge is to capture that elusive rhythm – with that perfect tempo. This arrangement uses the 1942 English text of Ervin Drake popularized by the Andrew Sisters.  it is arranged for 4-part SATB ensemble with piano accompaniment. It starts with a slow seductive Samba tempo and accelerates to a Prestissimo finish.  Performance time: 2:45.
