Detalhes

The Two Portuguese Songs II were made as part of Vasco Alves musical project titled d'Roda no Ar. The scores of these songs are gathered in this book to serve as a basic reference for musical interpretation and pedagogy. For this purpose, these musical arrangements include musical elements such as form, melody, harmony, other musical elements and the lyrics of each song. The first song, entitled "Voltar a Ser", speaks of the drama that plagues Portuguese youth and forced them to emigrate for lack of job opportunities in their home country. As such, this song refers to feelings of disappointment while inviting reflection on the need for resilience. The second song, entitled "Noites de Verão", refers to the youthful experiences during the summer season night parties.
