Fantasia em D, para coro misto

Samuel Lucena de Medeiros’s Fantasia em D is a substantial work for mixed choir. Its title suggests a free-ranging exploration of musical ideas, perhaps inspired by the Baroque form, but with a distinctly modern outlook. This piece is suitable for a secular concert programme, offering opportunities for expressive ensemble singing. The composer’s command of vocal writing is evident in the intricate lines and rich harmonies, demanding a skilled choir capable of navigating its structural and textural complexities. Its instrumental character, implied by the title, suggests a work that explores the full capabilities of the choir as an ensemble, creating a compelling sound world for the listener.
