"Em
1897, a compositora e maestrina Chiquinha Gonzaga (1847 – 1935) publicou a
partitura do então inédito choro Água do Vintém.
"O
título se referia à água extraída de fonte na Chácara do Vintém, em Niterói
(RJ), e vendida em carroças pelas ruas do Rio de Janeiro (RJ) do século XIX
quando a cidade sofria com o (des)abastecimento de água encanada.
"No
século XXI, mais precisamente em 2011, o choro de Chiquinha serviu para batizar
o então nascente grupo paulista Água de Vintém, criado em Piracicaba (SP) com
repertório voltado para o gênero.
"Oito
anos depois, Charles Barreto (cavaco), Guilherme Girardi (violão de sete
cordas), Marcus Godoy (violão e guitarra), Vitor Casagrande (bandolim e violão
tenor) e Xeina Barros (pandeiro) lançam o terceiro álbum, O choro nosso." (Mauro Ferreira)
Premiado
no edital PROAC, "O choro nosso" é O terceiro disco do Água de Vintém e
vem para coroar os férteis 8 anos de carreira completados em 2019. Com 14
faixas autorais inéditas, o álbum se destaca pela qualidade das composições,
por novidades como a presença da guitarra e da bateria e pela variedade de
ritmos que explora, abrangendo valsa, frevo, choro, choro sambado, schottisch,
varandão, tango brasileiro e até mesmo um foxtrote. Com participações especiais
de Rafael Toledo (percussão e bateria) e João Camarero (violão).
MÚSICA
INSTRUMENTAL ANDINA
La música andina del Perú está compuesta de una
gama amplia de estilos musicales originados en tiempos precolombinos, aunque en
sus formas contemporáneas se han incorporado influencias occidentales. Por su solemnidad evocativa e
instrumentación característica, la también llamada música “indígena” de Los
Andes cuenta con un gran número de aficionados a nivel mundial, siendo también
numerosos los grupos que cultivan este género en Colombia, Ecuador, Perú,
Bolivia, Chile y Argentina.
La
música andina del Perú desciende de las culturas inca y pre-incas.
En
el año 2006, mediante decreto supremo, el Estado peruano oficializó el 15 de
junio como el "Día de la canción andina"
Los elementos más característicos de la música
andina del Perú son los instrumentos, que provienen básicamente de los pueblos
ancestrales habitantes del Antiguo Perú.
Los instrumentos de viento (aerófonos) han
existido desde antes del imperio inca. En
la ciudad sagrada de Caral(la
civilización más antigua de América) se ha descubierto quenas hechas con huesos
de pelícanos. Las
percusiones también formaron parte de la instrumentación andina, que fueron
plasmadas en los huacos retratos (cerámica escultórica) de la cultura moche, en
los que se observan, además de zampoñas y quenas, bombos y maracas. Al parecer estos instrumentos fueron
evolucionando a lo largo de los andes hasta el auge del imperio Inca.
Con la cultura europea llegaron diversos
instrumentos de cuerda (cordófonos) como la guitarra, la bandurria, el arpay el violín, que a lo
largo de 300 años evolucionaron particularmente.
Hoy
en día, por tratarse de una cultura viva, la música andina contemporánea ha
continuado su evolución, incorporando nuevos instrumentos como el saxofón y las
trompetas, inclusive instrumentos electrónicos en los arreglos de la música
andina contemporánea. Esto no implica que se hayan perdido los
instrumentos ancestrales, entre los que destacan los sikuso antaras
(zampoñas en español), quenas, pinkullos,
tarkas, silulos, mohoceños, wankaras o
bombos, entre otros.
Antara representada en vasijas de la cultura Moche. La tradición musical en territorio peruano se extiende por varios siglos en el tiempo.
En la época inca, se usaba la palabra taki para
referirse simultáneamente tanto al canto como al baile (danza), pues ambas
actividades no estaban separadas una de la otra. Las danzas y diversos estilos musicales que se
practican en los andes peruanos tienen matices que varían de acuerdo a las
zonas o regiones, influenciados por las etnias o culturas que la habitan.
El género más difundido es el huayno, pero éste
a su vez tiene matices que van desde la chuscada ancashina, pasando por la
influencia huanca (música huanca), los matices ayacuchanos (de influencia
criolla-chanca), hasta los matices del huayno cuqueño y puneño. La distinción entre estos estilos
de huayno radican en la instrumentación y tonalidad. Acotando que existen
dispersos en los andes peruanos diversos dialectos quechuas y aymaras que
influyen en las composiciones musicales.
Otro género que se halla en distintas zonas de
Perú es el carnavalito
La
música andina es también un elemento fundamental de numerosas celebraciones y
festivales, como es el caso de los carnavales, tan difundidos y tan distintos
entre pueblo y pueblo a lo largo de los andes peruanos.

Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. (December 31,
1943 – October 12, 1997), known professionally as John Denver, was an American
singer-songwriter, record producer, actor, activist, and humanitarian, whose
greatest commercial success was as a solo singer. After traveling and living in
numerous locations while growing up in his military family, Denver began his
music career with folk musicgroups during the late 1960s. Starting in the 1970s, he was one of
the most popular acoustic artists of the decade and one of its best-selling
artists. By 1974, he was one of America's best-selling performers, and AllMusichas described Denver as "among the most beloved entertainers of
his era".
Denver recorded and released approximately
300 songs, about 200 of which he composed. He had 33 albums and singles that
were certified Gold and Platinum in the U.S by RIAA
certificationwith estimated sales of more than 33
million units. He recorded and performed primarily with an acoustic guitar and
sang about his joy in nature, his disdain for city life, his enthusiasm for
music, and his relationship trials. Denver's music appeared on a variety of
charts, including country music,
the Billboard Hot 100,
and adult contemporary, in all earning 12 goldand four platinumalbums with his signature
songs "Take Me Home, Country Roads",
"Annie's Song",
"Rocky
Mountain High", "Calypso", "Thank God I'm a Country Boy",
and "Sunshine on My Shoulders".
Denver
appeared in several films and television specials during the 1970s and 1980s. He
continued to record in the 1990s, also focusing on environmental issues as well
as lending vocal support to space exploration and testifying in front of Congressin protest against censorship in music. He lived in Aspenfor much of his life where he was known for his love of Colorado. In 1974, Denver was named poet
laureate of the state. The Colorado state legislature also adopted
"Rocky Mountain High" as one of its two state songs in 2007.
An
avid pilot, Denver died at the age of 53 in a single-fatality crash while
piloting his recently purchased light plane.
"Annie's Song" (also known as
"Annie's Song (You Fill Up My Senses)") is a folk rockand countrysong in 3/4 time written and recorded by singer-songwriter John Denver.
The song was released as a single from Denver's álbum Back Home Again. It was his second number-one song in the United
States, occupying that spot for two weeks in July 1974. "Annie's
Song" also went to number one on the Easy Listeningchart. Billboard
ranked it as the Nº. 25 song for 1974.
It went to number one in the United Kingdom,
where it was Denver's only major hit single (many of Denver's American
hitswere more familiar in the UK through
cover versionsby other artists). Four years later, an instrumental version also
became flautista James Galway's
only major British hit.
You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again
Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Come let me love you
Come love me again
Let me give my life
to you
Come let me love you
Come love me again
You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again.

YEAR: 1979
Daniel Grayling Fogelberg (August 13, 1951 –
December 16, 2007) was an American musician, songwriter, composer, and
multi-instrumentalist. He
is known for his 1980s songs, including "Longer"
(1979), "Same Old Lang Syne" (1980), and "Leader of the Band" (1982).
"Longer" is a song written and
recorded by the American singer-songwriter Dan
Fogelbergand released in 1979 by Full Moon Recordsand Epic Records.
The song can be found on Fogelberg's 1979 album Phoenix. It was also included on his
1982 greatest hits albumas well as
various other retrospective and compilation recordings.
Fogelberg, who had released more rock
oriented songs throughout the 1970s, jokingly described "Longer" in
the liner notes to one of his retrospective albums as "the song that put
me on the elevators." He wrote the song while vacationing in Maui,
"lounging in a hammock one night and looking up at the stars. It just
seems this song was drifting around the universe, saw me, and decided I'd give
it a good home." Accompanying Fogelberg's vocals is an acoustic guitar(played by the singer) as well as a flugelhornsolo by Jerry Hey.
Lyrically,
the song compares various events ("Longer than there've been stars up in
the heavens") with his emotional attachment to the one he loves
("I've been in love with you").
Longer than there've
been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you
Stronger than any
mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you
I'll bring fire in the winters
You'll send showers in the spring
We'll fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings
Through the years as
the fire starts to mellow
Blurring lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding's cracked and the pages start to yellow
