PATRICIA COSTA

Because of the difficulty in finding suitable material for Brazilian youth choirs, I developed a peculiar way of arranging music for my groups, which ended up being of great help to many choirs in Brazil and abroad. I privilege the beauty of Brazilian music - especially MPB (Brazilian Popular Music) - also considering any style, rhythm or even nationality that attracts teenagers or singers of all ages to join a choir.

​

As I learned from Marcos Leite, Roberto Gnattali, and Vicente Ribeiro, seeking sensitivity with simplicity results in easy but effective arrangements.

​

The arrangements below are offered free of charge as a PDF in the hope of contributing to choral directors in the hope of contributing to those looking for easy music for their groups.
I ask that, whenever you adopt an arrangement of mine, you send me a video or audio of your choir singing, as it will be a great pleasure to know that I am contributing to collective singing.

There is a list in alphabetical order, which provides a summary of the characteristics of each arrangement, to facilitate the search. They are currently being reorganized and will be updated soon with the addition of my latest arrangements.

​

PS:
Many of the arrangements are adaptable. For example, some arrangements with 3 equal voices can be used for mixed voices, with small octave adjustments for one of the voices.
And remember to always give credit where credit is due. In other words, if you need to make changes to my original, don't forget to add who adapted.
