Sopro de câmara (2009) – 7’53’’
Rodrigo Lima (Brasil, 1976 - )
flauta, sax alto e clarone 
Sopro de câmara tece suas linhas construindo e desconstruindo movimento e sonoridade, quase como um ato de inspirar e expirar. Uma sucessão de momentos onde a escritura ora prioriza um tecido polifônico mais estático, ora explora uma música de simultaneidade e vitalidade rítmica. Se no primeiro há uma busca pela síntese timbrística entre os instrumentos, misturando-os como quem pinta um quadro em diferentes gradações de cores, no segundo, a prioridade é uma escritura pulsante que permeia os limites do virtuosismo instrumental do grupo. Sopro de câmara foi composta especialmente para o ABSTRAI ensemble e por ele estreada em novembro de 2009, no concerto comemorativo dos 50 anos da Maison du Brésil na Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris.
