The Spirit of the ForestBallet

for String Orchestra and PercussionThis work is based on the legend of the Curupira, a mysterious being who,

according to popular belief, resides deep in the jungles of Brazil. The musical scenes are

inspired by one of the many tales of the Curupira, told by the people for whom the

Amazon rainforest is home. In this story, a young girl named Nayara loses her way in the

jungle, and is then found by the Curupira, who appears before her in the form of a

handsome young man. Upon meeting, he promises to help her find her way home.

Seduced by this stranger and oblivious to his true identity, she agrees to stay with him

overnight in the dark rainforest. When Nayara wakes in the morning, she is alone again

and cannot recall the events of the night. She resumes her search for the path leading to

her home. After a many hours of searching, she arrives at her small house, where she lives

with her aunt Yarana. Some weeks later, Nayara discovers that she is pregnant, andsuddenly recalls the night when she was lost in the jungle with the mysterious young man.

After hearing this recount, her aunt Yarana realizes that this is the fault of the Curupira,

and tormented with sadness, she falls and dies. Suddenly Nayaras boyfriend Jurueno,

who has been hiding behind the house and has heard the entire story, appears. Nayara

begs for his forgiveness, but alas Jurueno cannot pardon her betrayal. She leaves, and he,

feeling alone, recedes into the jungle and dies of disgust.
