Work
His works include more than 100 titles: pieces for diverse chamber music groups, choir and orchestra, as well as music for theater plays, videos and films. His soundtracks have won many awards in Brazilian festivals, including the 10th Vitória Cine Vídeo, in 2003. The composer has also taken part in several important contemporary music festivals, among them the 2002 World Music Days Festival of the International Society for Contemporary Music - ISCM, in Hong Kong (China). His essays are published in periodicals such as Contemporary Music Review, Em Pauta, Per Musi and Musica Hodie.
Eli-Eri Moura has been concerned with developing a compositional process he calls defragmental music, applied to his concert music (in works such as Circumsonantis, for string quartet, and Noite dos Tambores Silenciosos, for symphony orchestra). This process recreates and synthesizes several procedures of contemporary music, and interacts in a structural way with references from Brazilian popular musical manifestations, whose elements are explored from within their microdimensional aspects (defragmentation processes). Concomitantly, the composer also works with a language that encompasses a more conventional musical lexicon, almost tonal, employed in some of his choral pieces and in his incidental music.

Famous quotes containing the word work:
“One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man.”
—Elbert Hubbard (1856–1915)
“Thou hast left behind
Powers that will work for thee; air, earth, and skies;
There’s not a breathing of the common wind
That will forget thee; thou hast great allies;
Thy friends are exultations, agonies,
And love, and man’s unconquerable mind.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“Do not put off your work until tomorrow and the day after. For the sluggish worker does not fill his barn, nor the one who puts off his work; industry aids work, but the man who puts off work always wrestles with disaster.”
—Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)
