re: #11 Hercules Grytpype-Thynne

This is the 5th in a series of 9 Bachianas Brasileiras, in which Villa-Lobos applied Baroque harmonies and counterpoint to the music of his native Brazil. I wonder if he felt about this the way some composers seem to about the one signature piece they can never put behind them (Ravel and his Pavane for a Dead Princess and Rachmaninov and his Prelude in C# minor come to mind.)

And that is just the aria part of the piece. IIRC, the London Olympics played it as the handover music to the Rio Olympics for 2016, too.

Most people are probably more familiar with Brazilian popular music than the works of Villa-Lobos.
