Lacerda’s Poemeto, for flute and piano, crafted in 1974, encapsulates the quintessence of Brazilian music. Employing the pentatonic scale alongside the Lydian and Mixolydian modes, the composition weaves a melody and harmony that exude an unmistakable Brazilian flavor. The piano gracefully complements the flute line, infusing the piece with the necessary flair. Rich harmonic nuances provide soloists with a myriad of opportunities for exploring a spectrum of colors and subtle dynamic changes. This delightful work is sure to captivate and please audiences.
