Os três movimentos da suíte são releituras livres de obras que circularam no Brasil Colonial, em distintas regiões. A “Tocata Grande do Saltério”, anônima, aparece na coleção de “Cifras de Música para Saltério”, de António Vieira dos Santos, em Paranaguá/ PR, no início do Séc. XIX. “Passio” vem de um breve moteto à capela que anuncia a “Paixão segundo S. Mateus”, dentro do Ofício de Domingo de Ramos, de 1782, de José Joaquim Emerico Lobo de Mesquita, a partir de cópias de Mariana e Diamantina/MG. A “Fuga” é a última parte, “In te Domine speravi”, de um “Te Deum” anônimo, cujo manuscrito está preservado em Mariana/MG, erroneamente atribuído a Manuel Dias de Oliveira. As obras originais apresentam estilos e formas contrastantes entre si, mas tem em comum o fato de fazerem parte do passado colonial brasileiro.

About “Ad Parnassum” (Ad Parnassum, 1932)
The dark outline of a pyramid-shaped mountain glows beneath a warm orange sun while an open archway invites the viewer to take the first step on their journey towards enlightenment. Inspired by the pyramids and temples of Egypt, Paul Klee’s pointillistic masterpiece from 1932 is built from contrasting blocks of color built up brick by brick in a style that he called “divisionism.” In the same way, the music takes the form of a rondeau as repeated musical progressions are developed through textural variations. In Greek mythology, Mount Parnassus is associated with Orpheus and the home of the nine muses and “a step towards Parnassus” (gradus ad Parnassum) came to define the gradual process of pursuing mastery in scholarship or the arts through diligent, repeated practice. The climb towards any summit begins with a single step and although that journey can be defined as a series of steps towards a goal, there is no guarantee that the path will be straightforward. The path may be winding, or may double back on itself, or seem to disappear altogether – it is built from small victories, epiphanies, frustrations and defeats – and by the end you have come full circle, stepping through the door towards Parnassus once again, both an exit and an entrance.
