description: My Madness is a 14-minute composition for soprano and a small orchestra and is a setting of two excerpts from the poem The Moral Fibrature of the Ipiranga by Mário de Andrade, a “profane oratorio,” according to its author. The oratorio is the last and longest poem of Hallucinated City, a poetry book published in 1922, after the events of The Modern Art Week that took place in The Municipal Theater of São Paulo in February of that year. Composed one hundred years after the Week of 22, My Madness is a tribute to Andrade and a homage to all Brazilian modernists who promoted this event. My Madness is scored for soprano and a small orchestra consisting of four woodwind and three brass instruments, percussion, piano, and strings. The work has 2 large sections: Recitative/Ballad and Lullaby with an orchestral Prelude before the first part and a short Interlude between them. The passages that were selected from the poem are the two instances that the poet’s conscience, referred to as My Madness, is depicted in the text.
