Teresa Berganza,A casinha pequenina,Francisco Ernani Braga video

Cancion amorosa, unknown poet Tu nao te lembras Da casinha pequenina Onde o nosso amor nasceu, Ai! Tinha um coqueiro do lado Que coitado de saudade ja morreu. Tu nao te lembras das juras , O, perjura, Que fizestes com fervor, Ai! Daquele beijo demorado, Prolongado, Que sellou o nosso amor. The little tiny house is a love song of a broken hearted person. It tells of the place of a great love, fervent oaths and kisses, broken promises and betrayal, Yes, I know , rien que ca! Brazilian composer Francisco Ernani Braga (1868-1945) received a solid musical academic education. Student of J. Massenet he lived in France and later in Germany where he was influenced by R. Wagner. He composed several symphonic works and the opera Jupira, staged in early 1900s in Brazil .Worked as conductor and professor in Brazil. His music elaborates more finely than Villa Lobos, his pupil, the ethnic elements of Brazil, when they are used. Bidu Sayao often interpreted Bragas songs making them known throughout the world. It was she, who gave the score to Teresa Berganza who continued the tradition. The Casinha is a simple piece of music, perhaps the most popular by Braga and I illustrated it with photos I have taken in Brazil and Greece.
