Brazilian Traditional
Vals Sereno
During the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century, classical music in Brazil was strongly influenced by the music style practiced in Europe, particularly the Viennese classical style. The first major Brazilian composer was José Maurício Nunes Garcia, a priest who composed several sacred pieces and some secular music. He wrote the opera Le Due Gemelle ("The two twins"), the first opera written in Brazil, a work nowadays lost. About 250 works written by him are known presently. Elian Álvares Lobo composed the first Brazilian opera with a libretto in Portuguese: "A Noite de São João" (Saint John's Party Night).
