A Time For Us, by Nino Rota







A time for us
Someday they'll be
When chains are torn
By courage born of a love that's free

 A time when dreams
So long denied
Can flourish
As we unveil the love we now must hide

 A time for us
At last to see
A life worthwhile
For you and me

 And with our love through tears and thorns
We will endure
As we pass surely through every storm

 A time for us
Someday they'll be a new world
A world of shining hope for you and me

 A time for us
At last to see
A life worthwhile
For you and me

 A world of shining hope for you and me


(by Nino Rota, Italian composer)

A Inveja "Envenena" Mozart e Salieri

"Amadeus", de Milos Forman Rumores e boatos fazem parte da História do homem.  Com a comunicação globalizada e instantânea das redes sociais, as 'fake news' causam desorientação, mas imagino o mal que era causado no passado pela equivocada interpretação dos fatos ou pela má fé.  Para persuadir a audiência e exaltar um personagem, normalmente, é preciso que ele esteja acompanhado de um antagonista. Amadeus Mozart e Antonio Salieri foram os personagens de um conto entre duas correntes da música àquela época. De um lado, o talentoso e prestigiado Salieri, enquadrado no conservadorismo do Rococó, e do outro, o lirismo e sentimento do Romantismo, iconizado pela criatividade vanguardista de Mozart. Historiadores julgam improvável que o italiano Salieri invejasse Mozart, muito menos a ponto de envenená-lo.  Salieri viveu recluso, até a morte em um manicômio, possivelmente por causa também da angústia sofrida com o desmerecimento de seu talento e de...

H. Villa-Lobos

The renowned erudite composer Heitor Villa-Lobos, born in Brazil in 1887, loved Bach's music as much as he loved the brazilian popular rythms, and somehow, concerning his own music,  he made a fusion among the classical and the popular rythms from Brazil. An innovation that was not well received by the conservatives at the beginning.  One who has not yet been introduced to Villa-Lobos' music, it would be fine to listen "Bachianas Brasileiras" (they are nine, the 5th is my favourite), and "Melodia Sentimental", a touching music composed by him, with lyrics by Dora Vasconcelos.  Melodia Sentimental is originally composed to be sung as lyrical music, however I have already listened it on other very different rythms, like the portuguese fado, and even a fusion between Jazz and Bolero.     Melodia Sentimental, by Heitor Villa-Lobos (lyrics by Dora Vasconcelos) Acorda, vem ver a lua que dorme na noite escura que fulge   tão bela e...
