The title Brazilian Adventures here isn't ideal: it refers more to the process by which the music was assembled than to the exclusively sacred compositions performed. But conductor Jeffrey Skidmore indeed had at least an intellectual adventure, visiting various Brazilian cities and consulting with local experts on unknown compositions from colonial Brazil that they had unearthed in their cities' archives. For his initiative in the rediscovery of completely unknown repertory Skidmore deserves major kudos: the space between the Renaissance and the late 19th century is an almost complete lacuna in the recorded repertory, at least outside Brazil. But the music itself, written in the late 18th and early 19th century, is better still. It's mostly in a style that has been called Brazilian Baroque: the basic diatonic harmonies and melodic emphasis comes from Mozart and Haydn, but the large masses proceed in small chunks reminiscent of earlier music rather than unfolding in sonata form and its relatives. There is a sunny, pastoral mood that's absolutely charming and does seem to speak to a specifically Brazilian style even though such a thing is generally thought not to have come along for another 75 years. Sample the "Gloria" (track four) of the Christmas Missa pastoril para a noite de natal by the mixed-race Rio de Janeiro composer José Maurício Nunes Garcia, originally written for choir and organ in 1808, but later orchestrated. The music is limpid, but not naive. There is another Christmas mass by the same composer, and these may well be snapped up by performing organizations for holiday programming. The other composers represented, from cities ranging from Brazil's northeast to the southern Minas Gerais, have recognizable styles that have hardly been known to exist, and the whole, rendered in festive, clear tones by Skidmore and his choir-orchestra group Ex Cathedra, makes an immensely satisfying impression. A real find, splendidly recorded at the moderate-sized All Hallows, Gospel Oak Church in London.—James Manheim
