Songfacts:
Tico Tico (no Fubá), a Brazilian golden oldie, was composed in 1917 by Zequinha de Abreu. ‘Tico tico’ refers to a kind of bird, and ‘Fubá’ is a type of cornmeal – so the title means something like ‘Tico tico on the Cornmeal’. Among the song’s most famous interpreters are Carmen Mirandea (in 1947 film Copacabana), Ray Conniff and Paco de Lucia. The melody also appears on the soundtracks of many films, for example Saludos Amigos (Walt Disney 1942) and und Radio Days (Woody Allen 1987).
The jazzinotes edition of Tico Tico is based closely on the original recording of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Daniel Barenboim, a live recording, viewable as a YouTube video (click above)
Recommendations concerning the instrumentation:
This Arrangement tries to support you in your instrumentation. It is very flexible:
- There is also a C part for each of the transposing instruments (English horn, Bb clarinet, Bb bass clarinet, F horn and Bb trumpet). This instrument can be replaced or doubled by a C instrument, in particular by a synthesizer.
- The percussion instruments can be varied and combined in different ways. For example, the shaker can also be played by a guiro. You find the combined par “Percussion” for this.
- The interpretation of the lead melody in the prescribed fast tempo sometimes requires virtuoso skills. The melody can be simplified by omitting individual notes.
Attention: We also offer two piano versions: in the interpretation of the Oscar Peterson Trio and of Martin Schmitt.
