A great, upbeat latin chart for your set! This exciting, upbeat bossa nova features a great melody set atop energizing stop-time rhythmic figures provided by the band. The Portuguese lyric is sung in unison by women, then joined by the men in prime unison. The flowing, harmonized bridge sets the bossa nova in motion, with beautiful voice leading typical of the style during the two-part passages. Following a two bar drum solo, the stop-time melody changes to an English lyric. A modulatory interlude leads to a vocal scat solo with punchy vocal group background figures. The instrumental vamp returns, setting up a big conclusion!
SSAATTBB with rhythm section (included parts: piano, electric bass, drums, optional guitar, optional percussion). ***Rehearsal chords notated throughout the vocal score.*** Drum and percussion parts are fully notated.
