The Concerto "May All Dictators Fall", by Jean Goldenbaum, is the first concerto for guitar and guitar ensemble written by a Brazilian composer, and was premiered by the Universidade Federal de Uberlandia (UFU) Guitar Ensemblem and Alvaro Henrique. The composition reflects on all forms of tirany, and promotes the democracy. 


"Brasília 50", by Jorge Antunes, is for guitar and pre-recorded sounds. The work was comissioned for the 50th anniversary of  Brasília, and will feature 50 movements, each one depicting an historical event which took place on each year of Brasilia. The above movement, 1968, coments on the AI-5, the most cruel law the Brazilian dictatorship issued against civil liberties, and the protests that followed. It quotes an excerpt of a song commonly sung on such manifestations.


One of the lessons of the course "Técnicas de Estudo para Músicos", at the Universidade Federal de Uberlandia - in Portuguese.
