CHORO INSULANO NO 2 (Luiz & Carolina Teixeira) Music of Brazil.

Choro Insulano No. 2 is a vibrant and elegant modern choro that stays deeply rooted in the traditional language of the genre while clearly reflecting a personal, contemporary compositional voice. Musically, the piece is set in D major and marked Allegro (♩ = 100), giving it a lively yet controlled character—typical of classic choros meant to sparkle without rushing. The intro immediately establishes a refined harmonic palette, using Dmaj7 and A7(b9), which signals a more harmonically sophisticated choro, closer to the lineage of Pixinguinha’s later works and modern choro composers. Melodic Character The melody is highly idiomatic, full of: flowing stepwise motion, quick ornamental turns, and articulate rhythmic figures that suggest the agility of a bandolim or flute. It sings naturally, with phrases that feel conversational—light, playful, and expressive—yet it demands precision and clarity from the performer. Harmony Harmonically, the piece is rich and expressive, frequently employing: major sevenths, secondary dominants, altered dominants (especially A7♭9), and elegant bass motion (e.g., D/F♯). These choices give the choro a sophisticated urban flavor, without losing the Brazilian identity or rhythmic grounding.
