Filhos da Revolução dos Cravos / Children of the Carnation Revolution (Piano Duet)

Abstract

https://soutelo.eu -- Piano Duet, 1 Piano 4 hands. Available online for listening or downloading at: / Áudio e partitura disponível em: https://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/en-US/se/ID_No/1489743/Product.aspx or https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/en/product/filhos-da-revolucao-dos-cravos-children-of-the-carnation-revolution-22708731.html -oOo- The songs of intervention that filled the revolutionary spirit are perceived by the generations born afterwards as grandfather’s little stories. The children of a revolution are always calm and carefree, but this complacent detachment contains within itself the germs of new tensions that could become the cause and beginning of a new revolution.

The original version, for Orff instruments, was written for the Instrumental Group of the Vila Praia de Âncora Primary and Secondary School to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution.

The generative complex that organises the whole work {6[2, 2, 2], 2, 9[3, 3, 3]} is taken from the number of letters in the words of the title.

Poslúdio
Os cantos de intervenção que preencheram o espírito revolucionário são percebidos, pelas gerações
que nasceram depóis, como as historinhas do avô. Os fi lhos duma revolução são sempre calmos e
despreocupados, mas essa acomodada distensão encerra em si mesma os germes de novas tensões que
podem vir a ser a causa e o princípio duma nova revolução.
A versão original, para instrumentos Orff , foi escrita para o Clube Instrumental da Escola Básica e
Secundária do Vale do Âncora (Portugal) para assim celebrar o cinquenta aniversário da Revolução
dos Cravos.
O complexo geratriz que organiza toda a obra {6[2, 2, 2], 2, 9[3, 3, 3]} está tomado do número de
letras que contêm as palavras do título.
