In the opinion of Villa-Lobos, Bach's music was a music for the people - indeed, he even called it 'folk-loric'. As a result, the combination of Bachian polyphony and Brazilian elements evident in his Bachianas Brasileiras came naturally to him, even if it may have struck – and still strikes – audiences as unexpected.
