Capivara
The Hermeto Pascoal Series by Ohio Percussion features music by the legendary Brazilian composer and multi-instrumentalist, arranged for percussion ensemble by Roger Braun. These arrangements are distributed with permission from Hermeto Pascoal, and 50% of all sales go directly to the composer. The pieces are arranged for up to ten players, with options for fewer players. Typical instrumentation includes two vibraphones, two marimbas, bass (playable on acoustic/electric bass, marimba, or Mallet KAT) additional pitched percussion (bells, xylophone, or steel pan) drum set, and percussion. Some pieces feature opportunities for improvised solos over chord changes, though suggested solos are also provided.
Program Note Capivara was released on the Sergio Mendes album Oceano in 1996 and was also recorded in 2010 on the album Bodas de Latão by Hermeto Pascoal and Aline Morena, in a slightly different version of the composition. This arrangement follows the Sergio Mendes recording, a 7/4 samba with the infectious melody repeating down a half step before returning to the original key. Capivara is the portugese spelling of capybara, the world’s largest rodent that is found throughout much of South America. Part Sample
