The 'Suite Belle Epoque in Sud-America' is a composition by Brazilian composer Júlio Medaglia. It was composed in 1975 and premiered in the same year in São Paulo, Brazil. The suite is divided into four movements, each representing a different country in South America during the Belle Epoque period (1871-1914). The first movement, 'Tango', represents Argentina and is characterized by its syncopated rhythms and melancholic melodies. The second movement, 'Samba', represents Brazil and is characterized by its lively and energetic rhythms, as well as its use of percussion instruments such as the tamborim and surdo. The third movement, 'Vals Peruano', represents Peru and is characterized by its waltz-like rhythms and use of the charango, a small Andean stringed instrument. The final movement, 'Candombe', represents Uruguay and is characterized by its African-influenced rhythms and use of the tamboril, a type of drum. Overall, the 'Suite Belle Epoque in Sud-America' is a celebration of the diverse musical traditions of South America during the Belle Epoque period. Medaglia's use of traditional instruments and rhythms, combined with his own unique compositional style, creates a vibrant and colorful musical journey through the continent.
