(00:00) I “Uma Terra Linda” (03:04) II “Uma Terra Santa” (05:42) III “Uma Terra Alegre”. A composition in three parts dedicated to the city of Santo Tirso The city developed around the river ave and the monasteries have been a very important part of its history. In modern times the santo Tirso has developed a very rich cultural life and have hosted many guitar festivals and folk music festivals. My composition has three parts: I “Uma Terra Linda”, II “Uma Terra Santa” and III “Uma Terra Alegre”. A beautiful, spiritual and happy land. In these movements I wanted to capture aspects from Portuguese fado as well as the folklore music from the countryside. The second movement is freely based on Filipe de Magalhães' Commissa mea pavesco. Score available:
