Question

In the second movement of the second of these pieces, two largo assai sections surround a central Tempo di marcia section whose opening melody passes from the tenor saxophone to the cello section, then back. The sixth of these pieces is a duet for flute and bassoon meant to evoke serenades commonly written for flute and ophicleide. In one of these pieces, a vocalist imitates birdsong by singing “Lia! Lia!” after listing off various bird species. A “Chorale” in the fourth of these pieces is alternately titled “Song of the (*) Hinterlands.” The fifth of these pieces is written for 8 cellos and a solo soprano, and the second concludes with a toccata depicting the “Little Train of the Caipira.” For 10 points, name this set of pieces that draw on both South American folk music and Baroque (10[1])counterpoint, (10[1])written by Heitor Villa-Lobos. ■END■
