Drake, I; Oliveria, A; Abreu, Z

Musicians Publications presents 'Tico, Tico by Irving Drake, Albysio Oliveira, and Zequinha Abreu, arranged for flute choir plus by Trevor Wye. Scored for 4 C flutes, alto flute, upright or electric string bass, and drum set, this arrangement also includes parts for bass flute and contra bass flute when available for performance.

Zequinha Abreu (1880-1935) was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil. A musician from an early age, he composed nearly 100 works by the age of 25. In 1917 his orchestra played his new composition, still unnamed, at a ball. The jumpy, fast-tempo song made the dancing couples go crazy. Abreu observed that those people looked just like tico-ticos (a kind of little bird) eating corn meal, which is the meaning of the song s eventual name Tico-tico No Fuba . The song became popular in the early 1940 s in Brazil, and in the U.S. where it was sung by Carmen Miranda and included in a movie by Walt Disney.
