Antonio Carlos Jobim's music is full of the beauty of everything he loved. He expressed a very peculiar point of view on the subject: "It is difficult to distinguish where the feminine ends and nature begins. My opus is all a song of love to Brazil; my land, people, flora, and fauna..." "Corcovado" and "Wave" are songs that express nature's strength, in an almost romantic way. Much different is the careless tone of "Aguas de Marco", with the wonderful vocal of Elis Regina. This song, for which Jobim created both music and lyrics, may have a melody with worldwide acclaim, but it's words are among the most significant in Brazilian-Portuguese poetry. |
