Canto de Taieira is a composition based on folksongs from the northeast of Brazil. Taieiras are groups of black women and children who accompany the procession of Our Lady of Rosary on Epiphany and the procession of St. Benedict. This celebration takes place on January 6 in the city of Laranjeiras in the state of Sergipe. Mesquita uses three themes that are linked to the celebration of the sacred and the divine. These themes are contrasted with another song derived from the music of the Catholic procession from the São Paulo costal region as well as from the Epiphany celebration in Minas Gerais. All these themes, which are presented in fragments and also in their entirety, are combined with traditional Brazilian rhythms throughout the work. In his description of Canto de Taieira, Mr. Mesquita writes “It is as if several ethnic groups that make up the Brazilian nation joined together in a privileged moment of sonorous apotheosis that aspires the union of body/soul, the sensitive/the inexpressible.” Mesquita combines syncopated rhythms, styles and traditional folksongs are masterfully combined to form energetic and lively dance-like qualities. The composition accurately represents the spirit the people live in northeast Brazil who use the importation of both the “sacred” and “profane” in their religious celebrations.
