José Antônio de Almeida Prado war einer der meistbewunderten brasilianischen Komponisten seiner Zeit. Die beiden stilistisch unterschiedlichen Werke, die auf diesem Album zu hören sind, stehen exemplarisch für verschiedene Schaffensperioden im Leben des Komponisten. Das preisgekrönte Pequenos funerais cantantes, mit dem Almeida Prado den Durchbruch als Komponist schaffte, ist ein Klagelied voller einzigartiger Klangwelten, die aus verschiedenen Kombinationen von Chor- und Orchesterstücken entstehen. Die hervorragend orchestrierte Sinfonia dos Orixás thematisiert die Orishas (Gottheiten der Yoruba-Religion) und ist eine persönliche Hommage an die reichen afro-brasilianischen religiösen Traditionen, ein üppiges melodisches und rhythmisches Fest, das die Kräfte der Natur feiert.
