"Mayá" by Henrique Alves de Mesquita is a Brazilian polka composed in the late 19th century, reflecting the European influence on Brazilian music at the time. Alves de Mesquita was an important figure in the development of Brazilian instrumental music, particularly in the transition from European salon music to what would later become choro.The piece is lively and rhythmically intricate, characteristic of the polka genre but infused with Brazilian syncopation and phrasing that hint at early choro influences. "Mayá" features graceful melodies, ornamented passages, and a bright, dance-like quality, making it an engaging and virtuosic work.Alves de Mesquita's compositions, including "Mayá," played a role in shaping the musical landscape of Rio de Janeiro's urban popular music, serving as a bridge between classical and popular styles.
