Brazilian Art Song Anthology: 25 pieces for voice and piano
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Brazilian Art Song Anthology presents 25 art songs for voice and piano composed within a span of about one hundred and fifty years, between 1800 and 1950 approximately. The album provides the phonetic transcription of sung Brazilian Portuguese (BP) and the translation into English. The main objective of the phonetic transcription is to indicate the pronunciation of the language for speakers of other languages. It also helps with lyric diction, bringing attention to the points of articulation and sound production in the vocal tract and promoting the standardization of phoneme emission. The translation of the collection into English facilitates the foreign reader's understanding of the album's proposal and the textual content of the songs. We chose to maintain the musical terms in the scores used by the composer. A glossary is provided with definitions of musical and Brazilian Portuguese terms which are used throughout the text and in the poems.
