Jazz Kyrie: SATB Choral Octavo

Bossa nova (Portuguese for "new trend") is a musical genre that began in Brazil in the 1950s. The combination of samba rhythms, jazz sonorities, and lyrical melodies created a new, sophisticated style that was soon embraced by musicians worldwide. Here's a quintessential bossa nova on just three Latin words. Optional flute and/or vibraphone (available free online) add another smooth layer to this hip contemporary choral.
