Se Essa Rua Fosse Minha (If This Street Were Mine)

Description

Lore has it that this little delightful Brazilian folk tune was perhaps written in honor or Princess Isabel in the 1800s. Whatever its origin, it has become a favorite of children in the style of a ‘nursery rhyme’ and has extensive lyrics – which are included with the score. It is written in a-minor and the tune begins using only handchimes. Bells then enter and Ring the engaging tune with a bit of counter-melody and includes LVs and a few phrase markings for an expressive and legato feel. Addition of some dynamics and a few echoes are included as it continues to a sweet and gentle ending.
