Pernambuco
Sons de Carrilhões
Taught by renowned guitarist
Stephanie Jones
Sons de carrilhões ("Sounds of Bells") is one of Brazilian composer Joao Pernambuco's most famous works, and a highlight for many enthusiasts of South American music. Not only is it fun to play, but it's expressive and full of valuable techniques. It is the perfect piece for anyone interested in developing their barre chords, position changes, and scale runs. Pernambuco was one of the founders of choro music in Brazil, and this piece highlights the sensuality of choro. His music was so admired that the composer Villa-Lobos shared Pernambuco's music outside the choro community. Stephanie provides a historical context for the various rhythms in this piece, and finishes the lesson with advice on how to personally connect with this music!
