The Bacchianas Brasileiras are a cycle of pieces written in honour of J.S. Bach; the Aria No. 5 was arranged by the composer for voice and guitar. In Distribuçào de Flôres, an impressionistic sound-painting is combined with ritual dance. The closest relationship to Brasilian folk-music can be found in Modinha, the piece which gives its name to this CD.
