H. Villa-Lobos - Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5, Aria

The Aria of Bachianas n5 has a special place among the works of Heitor Villa-Lobos. It's his most worldwide known piece, written originally for 8 cellos and soprano. Lobos made himself an arrangement for guitar and voice, very well known and played, where he is making his own choices to keep and take out musical elements of the original version. While playing Villa-Lobos' arrangement for guitar and voice, i always missed to hear more voices that are present in the original. So, in this arrangement I came to the possibility where most of the musical material of the original could be preserved and played by one guitar and cello.
