The national anthem of Brazil arranged for String Orchestra. There are versions for Brass Quintet & full Orchestra in my store.

The "Brazilian National Anthem" (Portuguese: Hino Nacional Brasileiro; also known as "The placid shores of Ipiranga heard" Portuguese: Ouviram do Ipiranga as margens plácidas) was composed by Francisco Manuel da Silva in 1831 and had been given at least two sets of unofficial lyrics before a 1922 decree by President Epitácio Pessoa gave the anthem its definitive, official lyrics, by Joaquim Osório Duque-Estrada, after several changes were made to his proposal, written in 1909.

The anthem's lyrics have been described as Parnassian in style and Romantic in content.
