This is Brandes' last completed piece in 2016. "Formosa" makes reference to a Brazilian town in the countryside in the center-east, only 70km away from Brasília. The symphonic poem brings some local melodies from that region in the middle section, like some jingles based on Sertanejo (classic and "universitary") and Modão (Brazilian's 70's country music), performed on typical accordeon, and a final cliché romantic theme which can be found in recent Brazilian pop.
