3 variações sobre "O cego"

Hi, this is my composition "3 variações sobre "cego". The music is a theme with variations and was composed on the northeastern folklore theme "O cego", which is a melody that was already used by M. Camargo Guarnieri in his "Sonatina nº3 for solo piano". The variations are modal, the first being in the Lydian mode, the second in the Dorian mode and the third in the Mixolydian mode with the fourth degree elevated.

Hello @dhslamas!

I like this performance!  I didn't hear much that I think could qualify as mistakes.  The beginning starts so underwhelmingly making me expect something of lower quality.  But that's just the statement of the theme which turns out to be great material for a theme and variations piece which you accomplished here!  I wish you included a score, especially considering that this is a variations piece for 4 guitars.  Did you include tablature?

That is a great approach to lend your variations each a different degree of brightness/darkness and harmonic and melodic identity and contrast.  The Mixolydian #4 mode is usually referred to as the Acoustic scale and is most famously used in the main theme from "The Simpsons" by Danny Elfman.  Thanks for sharing!
