About — The artist
Heitor Villa-Lobos (Rio de Janeiro, 5 March 1887 – Rio de Janeiro, 17 November 1959) was a Brazilian conductor and composer. His music was influenced both by Brazilian folk music and by European classical music.
He received some musical instruction from his father. Already before 1899, the year of his father's death, Villa-Lobos had begun to devote himself to music professionally. He worked as a café musician playing the cello, although he was also an occasional performer on guitar, clarinet and piano. Villa-Lobos also had a second career as a music educator in his country. He designed a complete system of musical instruction based on Brazil's rich musical culture and rooted in a deep and always explicit patriotism. He composed choral music for huge school choirs of children, often based on adaptations of folk material. His legacy in Brazil today, consistent across the younger generations, is framed through the samba school as a strong sense of pride and love, intertwined with similar feelings for his country.
