"With an immensely prolific output--exceeding 2,000 musical works--that includes solo guitar, string and wind chamber music, opera, ballet, film music, and a variety of symphonic repertoire, Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos left an indelible stamp not just on Latin American culture but Western music. He is often remembered for his inventive merging of traditional Brazilian folk music with baroque contrapuntal writing in the nine Bachianas Brasilieras (Brazilian pieces inspired by Bach), written for various instrumental and vocal combinations between 1930 and 1945. The composer’s Trio for Oboe, Clarinet, and Bassoon from 1921 predates his first Bachian opus by nearly a decade, but clearly hints at his predilection and talent for baroque counterpoint while still brimming with the trademark wit and energy that permeates his music."
