Amparo
Originally known as Ohla, Maria (Look, Mary), it was later used in the film The Adventurers. I created this
guitar arrangement based on a solo piano version by Jobim. Again, the exquisite result of a polyphonic
structure is successfully projected on the solo guitar. Like in many of Jobim's works, influences from
Chopin and Debussy are notable here.
Caminho de Pedra (Rocky Road)
Written in the 1950s,this song is in the style of "toada," echoing the peaceful and primitive quality of the
rural backlands. The introduction sets up that quality which is kept with a steady movement in the middle
voice throughout the piece.
In the second section, the beautiful harmonic changes portray nature's exuberance in those regions of the
country. The piece concludes with the theme played in harmonics, like a beautiful image getting distant and
disappearing from one's mind.
Canta Mais (Sing More)
Also from the late 1950s,this is a small masterpiece in which Jobim shows his affection and admiration for
the music of Villa-Lobos. The contrapuntal accompaniment style is somehow reminiscent of Villa-Lobos'
famous Bachianas Brasileiras NO.5. By its title, the extremely lyrical Canta Mais suggests the love of the
Brazilian people to always sing and sing more.
Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars)
When the "bossa nova" exploded into world-wide popularity in the early 1960s, Corcovado became a
favorite, inspired by the magnificent view of Christ's statue on top of the Corcovado mountain in Rio de
Janeiro.
The introduction creates an intimate feeling which leads into the main theme. In this solo arrangement, a
balanced polyphonic texture with frequent contrapuntal movement produces an orchestral flavor. The
song ends with delicate harmonics enhancing its sensuality and intimacy.
Desafinado (Off-key)
One ofJobim' s most famous songs, Desafinado was composed in the late 1950s.Along with Chega de Saudade
it launched the "bossa-nova" movement in Brazil in 1958with the recordings of Joao Gilberto singing and
accompanying himself on guitar.
In this solo arrangement, the theme is presented with a delicate flavor using harmonics followed by an
introduction arranged by the composer from an earlier orchestral version-then going into the main
section with the bass line keeping a strong rhythmic pulse and the melody swinging with a samba
inflection. Counterlines are constantly weaving and the polyrhythmic texture becomes intense at the climax with an
illusion of more instruments participating in "tutti," including an occasional use of silence with the rhythm
being obvious.
