about

“Sleeping Landscapes” is a piece for choir inspired by excerpts from poems by Bernardo Soares, taken from “Livro do Desassossego”. It was composed in Tronco, a small village in the municipality of Chaves (Portugal), where contact with the natural landscape is permanent and, at times, because it feels so original, it seems to be asleep. “I came from prodigious lands, from landscapes more beautiful than life itself, but I never spoke of those lands, except to myself, and told no one of the landscapes glimpsed in dreams. (...)” “I see my dreamed landscapes as clearly as I see the real ones. When I lean over to look into my dreams, I am leaning over something real. When I see life passing, I am also dreaming something. (...)” by Bernardo Soares.
