- But is often the bass guitar part is very melodic
- Most of the song is homophonic ( melody and accompaniment)
- vocal part is the melody, bass guitar is the accompaniment
- polyphonic at B89-104
- Introduction is monophonic (except for a few double stops)
- Genre
- Written by esperanza Spalding in 2008
- Fusion of samba and jazz to create bossa nova - quite slow, lyrical,minor key
- lyrics in portuguese
- Title samba is not very appropriate because it is slow and monor, where as samba is usually lively. This is also has no percussion
- Title preludio is appropriate because a prelude is usually slow, improvisatory style piece
- Harmony
- Tonal
- The chords are based around i,ii,iv,and v
- some cadences (usually imperfect at the end of sections, some perfect eg B52-3)
- Chromatic descending chord progressions used (B30-8)
- Many extended chords :influenced by jazzy harmony
- Tonality
- Key is B minor
- Minor key is typical for bossa nova
- The song does not modulate
- Structure
- No clearly defined structure - could be described as verse form
- Into - Verse 1 - Link - Verse 2 - Guitar solo - Voice and bass duet- Coda
