A Ressaca (Reading, Scene 1)

This tone poem is part of a series of works for ensembles of varied formations, in which I explore the intense connection we have with the act of celebrating. Despite the strong allusion to the fun, the theme is as serious as its power of cultural representation, and gives space to deeper reflections; they were the origin of the three main themes, which transform themselves and dialogue throughout the piece through a true orchestral celebration: all instruments are soloists and discourse from introspection and delicacy to debauchery, to clatter, to revelry, evoking the rich imagery that inspired (and informed) this musical creation.

Commissioned and premiered by Santro André Municipal Symphony Orchestra (OSSA) in December 2014, conducted by Abel Rocha, Farras No.2 is now part of their repertoire for the 2015-season. In addition to the regular programme, it will also be performed at the prestigious Campos do Jordão International Winter Festival (Jul.2015).
