Composed in 1986, Prelude No. 2 is deeply rooted in Brazilian musical traditions. Rosauro explicitly designed the work to reflect the harmonic and melodic characteristics of Villa-Lobos, particularly his Bachianas Brasileiras series.

A direct tribute to "the master" (Villa-Lobos), establishing a somber yet lyrical atmosphere.

The complete Three Preludes are available through major retailers like Steve Weiss Music and Mallet Instrument Service.

For those looking for the official score, it is essential to distinguish between free promotional excerpts and copyrighted editions.
