Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

July 13, 2006 | Retratos do Brasil

Fresh off the press from Ted Falcon, Retratos do Brasil, a book with CD containing 21 new Choro transcriptions and 10 original compositions published independently.The project has been developed from several years of personal study of Choro music.

Falcon maintains the best way to understand and learn about the music is to transcribe, note for note, the recordings of the masters. Geared towards mandolinists, the book uncovers the secrets of rhythm, harmony, melody and the concepts of improvisation within this rich style of this music.

The book is is available from Elderly instruments: Retratos do Brasil
