A Sertaneja: �To Her, from the Hinterlands,� originally composed for voice and piano, musically paints a picture about Chiquinha�s love of �the hinterland- the land behind the body of water� in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Through flowing slurs, dotted rhythms, 3/4 time in D minor, and the passing of melody between the strings at a Level 2, Di�n Morales� arrangement celebrates the lapping waters around Rio de Janeiro and a graceful dance from Brazilian culture by one of its beloved composers. Students will love playing A Sertaneja.
