Thank you!Guitar Slim wrote:Very nice piece, very well played. Nice recording, too.
Is there a score?
In his book In Portugal of 1912, A.F.G Bell writes:
"The famous saudade of the Portuguese is a vague and constant desire for something that does not and probably cannot exist, for something other than the present, a turning towards the past or towards the future; not an active discontent or poignant sadness but an indolent dreaming wistfulness."
Some brasilian poet wrote: "Saudade is presence of the absence"Azalais wrote:The best (only?) way to explain the word "saudade"* is to provide an example, so you can experience it for yourself...
Thank you both for this beautiful piece of music. I have not listened to much Brazilian music in the last few years because each piece I heard had already been imprinted with too many memories or associations that were too specific... (flash backs were too vivid)
It is wonderful to have a chance to experience saudade again, but with a fresh new perspectiveThank you Sr. Moreira for this composition, and you Rafael for the recording.

Thank you Matt! I will ask him and tell that a lot of people are enjoying his song... He is going to be very proud!Matt Molloy wrote:Hi Rafael,
Absolutely beautiful. Wonderfully played and my compliments to your teacher for writing such a lovely piece.
At the risk of having another beautiful distraction, I'm with everyone else for the score.
Thanks again.
Matt.
